Boyce Thompson Arboretum is proud to announce a landmark three-year funding agreement totaling $750,000 from Resolution Copper. This significant investment will elevate and expand the Arboretum’s educational initiatives, with a particular focus on the Copper Corridor communities.
The funding will enable BTA to undertake key projects, including the comprehensive renovation of the Children’s Garden, the development of an extensive outreach program for local schools within the Copper Corridor, and the creation of innovative, immersive learning experiences for visitors of all ages. In the first year, efforts will center on designing and implementing the initial phase of the Children’s Garden renovation, hiring an Education Director, and conducting teacher workshops to develop STEM-focused curricula tailored to the needs of Copper Corridor schools.
Key initiatives supported by this agreement include:
● Children’s Garden Renovation: Creating an interactive, child-friendly nature exploratorium, with phase one focusing on the installation of nature play stations.
● Education Director: Supporting the crucial work of the Education Department in developing engaging programs and fostering partnerships with local schools and community organizations.
● Teacher Workshops: Developing STEM-focused curricula and providing ongoing support and training for teachers in the Copper Corridor.
● Outreach Vehicle: Acquiring a co-branded vehicle to facilitate access to schools and deliver educational programs on-site.
In the subsequent years, the funding will sustain these initiatives, with further phases of the Children’s Garden renovation, the introduction of an Outreach Coordinator to assist with educational outreach, and the development of the Ayer Lake Learning Center and Discovery Trail.
