Hands-On Learning Programs

Partnerships

Through our strategic educational partnerships, we support nature-based educational experiences on our conservation farm.

Students develop a sense of place, belonging, and community connection.

Working in strategic partnership with Grayslake High School District 127, we enable collaborations across subject areas and hands-on learning to provide students with relevant, engaging and authentic educational experiences. 

On our farm learning campus, students see systems interacting and can add value and design for sustainability. Our work includes field trips, work-based learning, and internship opportunities.

Students discover, engage and get curious.

How to Get Involved

Currently, this program is exclusively offered to Grayslake District 127 High School students. If you are interested in learning more, please contact Karen Wilkes at karen@libertyprairie.org.
