Today's blog post comes to us from our friends that are apart of Fenner's Youth Leadership Program, as they tell us all about their exciting new project and how you can help!
The Youth Leadership Program (YLP) of Fenner Nature Center is a group of 12-18 year old leaders who love nature and love teaching others about the natural world! Over the last year, YLP members have been planning and designing a natural playscape which will be built within Fenner Nature Center’s grounds. The playscape will allow kids to play creatively while enjoying all that nature has to offer. It will offer a bridge between playing in a playground the local park, and free-play in the natural world. It will be built of natural materials and will blend into the forest.
Currently we are in the last few steps of our planning process. We have a few committees working on different things; such as media, finance, volunteering, and model/design. Our media committee is working on Indiegogo, Facebook posts, and blogs. Our finance group is compiling a list of supplies and determining prices. Our volunteer group is making a list of people and where they will be placed. Our model/design group is working on a topographic map of the the playscape. If you have the time, please visit our Indiegogo site and donate what you can to support out playscape! Thank you!
