JMS Outdoor Classroom & Wildlife Habitat 2005-present

Our 2-acre facility includes a covered pavillion, benches, forest & field trails, and interpretive signs aligned with our state standards.  This area was formerly a cleared, barren site of clay; today it serves as an experiencial, unique learning facility for all subject areas.  Volunteers make it happen!
