Urban Ecology Class for Middle and High Scool kids

ok its here! Time to register kids for Sustainable Springfield's Kids Program. The program will be 8 weeks, each Saturday beginning March 3 at 10am. The goal of the curriculum will be to teach kids about Urban Ecology, Local Food Systems, and growing their own food. The program is modeled after a program in Boston and we are very blessed to have someone who has worked at that program to teach!
