Farm-Based Environmental Programs

For grades Pre-K-10, FBEE programs provide hands-on learning that fosters an ethic of care for Earth. Experiences with farm animals, wildlife habitats, seeds and plants; composting, recycling and seasonal outdoor activities introduce children to basic concepts of ecology - all correlated with the Pennsylvania and Ohio Academic Standards.
