About the Terra Nova Schoolyard Project

         The Terra Nova Schoolyard Project connects elementary and high school students with the earth, the community around them and agriculture at large.  Students learn to grow, monitor, harvest and eat nutritiously on a weekly basis. 

         Students are involved in hands-on activities that integrate the complete food cycle – from seed to table, from table back to soil – (in the form of composting.)  There are multiple learning outcomes and extensions that this project encompasses.  Some key outcomes include social responsibility, science, math, wellness and cooperative learning.
