Our hope is to provide an outdoor classroom where students can learn, dream and nurture. What is now concrete and weeds will become a learning area filled with native flowers, trees and grasses...a place for students and community to observe and enjoy. Plans include a Bird and Butterfly Garden, a Native Wildflower/Prairie, a weather station, a gazebo and other outdoor classroom area, a sundial, a Texas woodland, a horticulture area and much, much more.

As we continue towards our goal we will keep you up to date on our progress.

Some views of how our courtyard looked when we first moved to our new campus:

February 2005

The Native Plant Society Kerrville Chapter donated $1000 to our school to use for developing our Wilson Wildscape.

B. T. Wilson received a $2000 grant from Lowe's toward our school habitat.

May 2005

The Kerrville Public School Foundation gives B. T. Wilson $5000 to help create the school outdoor classroom.

December 2006

The work begins. Students from the Nature Club of B. T. Wilson join with boy scouts from Troop 111 working on an Eagle Scout project.  They work together to lay a sitting area under a live oak tree and path through the future prairie and wildflower area.

They started early in the day with a mountain of crushed granite. Students, scouts and teachers defined the edges of the path and hauled the gravel to the areas.

By late afternoon, the campus was quiet again. Phase 1 was complete.
