ABOUT PROJECT PRAIRIE
(Prairies that Invigorate Inquiry Learning), A Wild Toledo Prairie Initiative

Project PRAIRIE extends the Wild Toledo prairie initiative into local classrooms by utilizing the native prairie installations as living labs. 

It is an inquiry-based education program that trains students and their teachers to use native prairie habitats for citizen science projects that contribute to a larger body of global research to make a difference in the natural world.

托莱多动物园 conservation staff installs native prairies on the property of participating schools while Zoo education staff trains teachers and students to use the prairies for citizen science, inquiry learning projects and follows up with related classroom programming.
