Outdoor Classroom Build Days
Through the Alabama Outdoor Classroom Program, we can help you organize work days when students, faculty, parents and community volunteers can work side-by-side to help build, plant, and maintain outdoor learning stations in their outdoor classroom. We'll also attend the OC Work Day to provide technical support and help supervise the projects.
The Only Requirement: Your school must be enrolled in the Alabama Outdoor Classroom Program to receive technical assistance and advice from the Alabama Wildlife Federation's Outdoor Classroom Consultants.
