The Whitnall School Forest is a unique educational site that provides opportunities to enhance and expand student and teacher learning in a natural environment, increase family involvement in student learning, and provide a community connection to and engagement in our schools. Integrating environmental education into school curricula across content areas has been correlated to increased student achievement, improved school attendance, and decreased negative behaviors (Lieberman & Hoody, 1998). Through hands-on and active experiences in an authentic natural setting, students acquire the relevant knowledge, skills, and dispositions to promote responsible global citizenship.
