Durham Public Schools is excited to announce the "vine-cutting" ceremony to kick of their new facility dedicated to hands-on environmental education. The current plans are to use land around Eno Valley Elementary School as a community farm and outdoor learning environment for the public school system and the greater Durham community. Learn more about this project on their Facebook page and this story from the Durham Herald Sun. Better yet, join them on October 20th!
There are numerous peer-reviewed studies that show that outdoor experiential learning has direct academic benefits. Read some of them on our EE Research page and on our eeResearch and eeSchools news feeds.
