History
The Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program participated with East Chambers ISD for the development of an outdoor classroom. The 1.7 acre project is located on the elementary school and will include a small wetland, grassland, and woodland area with trails and other amenities to facilitate outdoor, hands-on instruction. Plant materials will be endemic natives suitable for the site.
Located in Winnie, Chambers County, Texas the site lies on the Coastal Plain in the transition area between the Piney Woods of East Texas and the Coastal Prairie and Marshes eco-region. Plans are to develop a variety of representative habitat types including wetland prairie, forested wetland, pine forest, and mixed hardwood forest. The site will be ADA accessible and can be utilized district wide.
This project was designed by Ron Jones who has since retired from U.S. Fish and Wildlife. Ron dedicated much of his career and personal time to connect children with nature and once again he has been successful. I am honored to have worked with him on this project.
