Williamstown Outdoor Classroom project workday was a HUGE success! Over 30 volunteers showed up to help clear brush, take down trees, weed whack, rake, install the classroom whiteboard and raised gardens. The outdoor classroom will provide teachers with a safe and structured area for students to learn outside of their classrooms. With the awesome crew phase 2, of the 5 phase project, was completed in a few short hours. The ENF Promise Grant funds will be used to purchase a shed, grass seed, vegetables, fill, and compost for raised gardens.
