This Learn and Do course combines learning and community action through hands-on experiences. We will explore the benefits of native trees, perennial pollinator gardens, biodiversity, and healthy ecosystems while helping create a living landscape at Victory Parkway Campus. The course begins with three classroom sessions focused on nature-based solutions, Tiny Forest concepts, perennial pollinator gardens, native plants, habitat creation, and project planning. Additional field sessions will be scheduled to support site installation and stewardship activities. Resources and tools will be provided. You should have sufficient mobility for outdoor activities.
