The Living Things We Share the Soil, Shade and Air With

Getting to know the living things we share our campus with is the first step towards protecting them and living alongside them. In this living archive we bring together the plant and animal species we observe and track with our children through the seasons, all with photographs taken on our campus. With every new discovery and field record our children make, this guide keeps growing and becoming richer.
