    School & Community Partnerships

    We are committed to building strong community partnerships that expand access to environmental and nature-based education. Currently, we collaborate with CGLA and the South Chattanooga Community Center to provide ongoing programs. We welcome opportunities to partner with additional schools and organizations to grow this work together. Please drop us a message if you would like to collaborate!

    Citizen Science Hubs (Coming SOON!)

    We are excited to launch a new Citizen Science Initiative in the 2025–26 school year. Through this program, we will establish environmental data collection centers across Chattanooga in collaboration with community partners. Local leaders will receive training to guide their communities in gathering and uploading environmental data, collaborating with educational institutions to analyze findings, and taking actionable steps toward climate solutions at the community level.
