We achieve this mission by:
- Empowering students and teachers to learn “real time” in nature’s outdoor classroom
- Connecting students with the environment and environmental issues
- Making education challenging and fun
- Creating a partnership for environmental education that meets Blair Community Schools and Nebraska State Standards and is recognized for its accomplishments.
This partnership would not be possible without The Friends of Boyer Chute and DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge. Their contributions of countless volunteer hours and financial support help us to succeed.
Strategic Plan Goals
- Provide every student with the opportunity to experience environmental education in the outdoor classroom
- Provide an inquiry based diversity of education.
- Secure funding through diversified revenue streams.
- Create an infrastructure to achieve quality and sustainability.
