Learning activities include tree identification and maintenance, wood lot management, social excavation and grading, pond and drainage projects, and many other skills needed for environmental and outdoor careers.
Students will develop skills in landscaping, landscape design, horticulture, hardscaping, and the design and construction of outdoor structures such as decks and sheds.
