MEADOWS FOR MONARCHS PROJECT
Learning Landscapes
Tour + Community Science at the Land Lab 

Join Pollinator Pathway for a morning at the Land Lab,  a ~100-acre prairie and outdoor learning space just steps from Granville Intermediate School. This event explores how schools and other campuses can create living classrooms and contribute to community science. 

Tour the Land Lab

Award-winning environmental science educator Jim Reding will lead guided tours through prairie, wetlands and other restored habitat, sharing the story behind this nationally-recognized space and the students and partnerships who helped make it happen.

Contribute to Community Science with iNaturalist

Learn to identify and document plants, pollinators and other wildlife using iNaturalist. Dr. Karen Goodell, professor of ecology at The Ohio State University at Newark and one of Ohio's foremost experts on native bees will share how to use this powerful tool to learn about the natural world while contributing to scientific research.  

Connect & Collaborate

The morning program concludes with an optional BYO picnic lunch and networking at the Land Lab shelter house, overlooking the prairie.

This event is designed for school administrators, teachers, facilities leaders, Meadows for Monarchs Project participants, and friends of Pollinator Pathway at Otterbein Granville. Anyone passionate about conservation and outdoor learning is welcome.
