Grant Boosts Nature Learning for Thousands

A $25,000 grant from the Santa Barbara Foundation is fueling the Explore Ecology School Gardens Program’s Outdoor Classrooms initiative, bringing hands-on nature education to over 11,000 students across 38 gardens in Santa Barbara County. Kids are tasting the fruits of their labor—literally—while connecting classroom science to real-world experience. With more than half the schools being Title I, this program is reaching students who need it most, planting seeds of environmental stewardship that could last a lifetime.
