Santa Rita High School Desert Habitat and Outdoor Classroom - The Eagle's Corner

Santa Rita High School students in Tucson, Arizona have designed a desert habitat and outdoor classroom for the campus.  The habitat contains a smal enclosure for a desert tortoise, a small pond to support native fish, an outdoor classroom for learning, as well as shaded seating areas and native habitat for birds and pollinator species.

The habitat is designed using native plants, passive rainwater harvesting methods, and sustainable architectural and landscaping design techniques.

Our goal is to raise money to match and supplement our bid for the 2016 Heritage Grant through Arizona Game and Fish Department to fund outdoor classrooms and native Sonoran Desert habitats on school campuses.

Santa Rita High School students in Tucson, Arizona have designed an outdoor classroom and desert habitat.  The students wish to create an area on campus that is not only conducive to learning, but also an area to relax and one that supports plant and animal life that is native to the Sonoran Desert.  We are applying for a Heritage Fund grant through the Arizona Game and Fish Department to assist with construction.  One of the criteria for winning the grant is to be able to provide matching funds or "in kind" donations.  Our hope is to be able to include in our September 2016 grant proposal, the amount of money and in kind donations we have raised.

Our design may cost up to $60,000 in materials and labor.  We believe that we can raise that through crowdfunding and with support from our community.  Please consider helping us attain our goal.  You can donate cash through EdBacker or you can contact us directly to make a committment on donating materials or volunteer labor to the project.

If you wish to commit to donating materials or volunteer labor, please send your written committment letter outlining what you can donate to:

Josh Ruddick is an awesome teacher and his student programs are giving students knowledge to help protect our environment, as well as useful tools for the rest of their lives. If I had these classes when I was in high school, I would have engaged in science on a higher level.
