A project of Common Ground, Audubon CT, US Fish and Wildlife, Yale Peabody Museum and New Haven Public Schools that is part of the New Haven Harbor Urban Watershed Wildlife Refuge Partnership
Schoolyard Habitats is a national program lead by the US Fish and Wildlife Service to teach students about native plants and wildlife and encourage environmental stewardship. For the New Haven program, Common Ground has partnered with Audubon CT, US Fish & Wildlife and Yale Peabody Museum to work with schools that are ready to create a schoolyard habitat and integrate the new natural teaching space into school curriculum. As part of the program, we provide ongoing support to schools as they design, build and utilize their habitat.
