Sturgeon City is on a mission to bring nature into the classroom and inspire a love of the environment in our community. We’re seeking your support to create a vibrant pollination garden and outdoor classrooms that will provide immersive, hands-on learning experiences for students, families, and community members of all ages.

Our outdoor classrooms will serve as living laboratories, where participants can explore the wonders of nature, learn about the importance of pollinators, and understand the threats they face. By studying bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, we can gain valuable insights into ecosystem health and develop strategies to protect these vital creatures.

Our pollination garden will be a haven for pollinators, providing them with food, shelter, and nesting sites. It will also serve as a beautiful and educational space for visitors to enjoy. By supporting this initiative, you’re helping to create a sustainable future for our community and the planet.

Join us in promoting Green Time Not Screen Time and the many benefits of spending time in nature. Studies have shown that being outdoors can reduce stress, improve mental health, and boost creativity. Together, we can make a positive impact on our environment and inspire future generations to become responsible stewards of our planet.

We are often collecting specific items for our activities and programs and have many opportunities to volunteer throughout the year.
