Outdoor Classroom at Wellborn Elementary School

Calhoun County Master Gardeners teamed up with Wellborn Elementary PTO to develop an Outdoor Classroom. Environmental education activities, as well as other school activities will be enhanced by outdoor learning.

The landscape provides cover for frogs, lizards, birds, butterflies and other wildlife. The pond incorporates aquatic plants. An amphitheater and demonstration area will provide a true outdoor classroom area.

The first workday was held in April of 2007, and there have been many other 'unorganized' work days since. The pictures show all that has been accomplished.

The project is also sponsored by the 4H Tree Amigos Club, Calhoun County Commission, Calhoun County Recycling, Legacy, Inc., Bridgewater Interiors, ACCI General Contractors, Commissioner Eli Henderson, Representative Barbara Boyd and Representative Steve Hurst.
