Volunteers, businesses donate materials and labor for Amery school forest upgrades
Summary
Community volunteers and local businesses repaired the school forest pavilion, rebuilt retaining walls, donated a large tree and equipment, and created six outdoor learning zones for classes, district staff said.
District staff and volunteers described a multi-day volunteer effort to improve the school forest: pavilion base work, a rebuilt retaining wall, seating installation and donated materials that the district said minimized costs to its budget.
"We were able to create six different learning zones outside of the pavilion that can now be set up to accommodate group sizes of 24," one administrator said while thanking donors. The transcript lists multiple donors by name: Ross Rosenthal (lumber and a donated tree), Getta and Tyler McCarti (railroad ties), Dan Johnson (use of a gas-powered tamper) and Lampard Lumber (electric jackhammer). The district noted that much of the work was grant-supported through the school forest committee and that very little came from the committee's budget.
Board members praised the community support and noted the school forest is a strong asset for outdoor education and district tours. Administrators said the upgrades will support cross-country use, outdoor lessons and community events.
