John Muir Elementary School Outdoor Classrooms

Working closely with the Owner BTD developed two small projects for an area that needed some attention to enhance outdoor learning and preserve a redwood forest. The Outdoor Classroom, adjacent to Harwood Creek, was develoepd with a locakabe storage shed, demonstartion rain barrel, two tables, nature play area, and pollinator garden. The Observation deck was developed for the public during non-school hours and a place for outdoor classrooms during school hours.
