PHS Sustainability Initiative
Terra Birds
Overview
Terra BIRDS is a Flagstaff based non-profit 501(c)3 organization that has provided gardening education for K-12 students for 10+ years. Focusing on themes of sustainability, stewardship, and community wellness, we have served over 12,000 students in 478 classrooms at 22 schools in the last decade. Terra BIRDS’ three program areas of School Gardens, Community Gardens, and BIRDS@Work, are each dedicated to the cultivation of compassion, critical inquiry, thoughtful decision making, regeneration, and building community.
History
Terra BIRDS was founded in 2011 to respond to the desire of elementary school teachers who wanted to get kids outside and learning in nature and to address some of the challenging education, environmental, and socio-economic issues we are facing as a community through our innovative, multi-faceted, hands-on education programs. Since then, Terra BIRDs has been leading students in the transformation of their school campuses into sustainable landscapes that support food gardens and native habitat, managing soil, water, wildlife, and human needs with teamwork and thoughtful problem solving.
BIRDS@Work
Through our BIRDS@Work Internship Program, students may apply for an after school stewardship program aimed to provide youth with soft job skills. This is a paid internship opportunity that meets weekly after school to work towards enhancing our local food system, mitigating flood damage, restoring native habitat, and other landscape and gardening projects around campus and the community. The BIRDS@Work Internship Program is a blend of classroom instruction, trade skill coaching, and 1:1 mentorship. This professional development program exposes students to potential employers while teaching youth sustainable strategies to be skilled laborers as the next generation in the workforce.
