Wildscape at TMA

 
  Wildscape

What is a wildscape?

To our kids it is a "fun", "pretty" "interesting", "bug filled", "animal habitat", and a great place to run.

It is a teaching area, a nature preserve, an exercise field, a place that encourages respect for living creatures, a quest for knowledge about these creatures, and the desire to protect their homes.

 
  Wildscape

It is a green space, an open space, a place with no concrete, a wonderous place and it belongs to the children at TMA.

Our science teachers, art teachers, classroom teachers, and extended care teachers all use this space for fun and for learning. Parents also get involved with the wildscape as volunteers, helping to maintain it, plant it, and most of all, enjoy it.
