Project Greenspace, Holy Spirit's environmental education program, literally uses our backyards as the classroom.

Even a weed growing through a crack in a sidewalk can teach valuable lessons. Adaptation, biodiversity, symbiosis, and survival in a seemingly hostile environment are just a few things that can be learned from this simple ecosystem.

Opportunities for teaching environmental education abound on any school campus. We only need to open our eyes and look at our land, ask it questions, and teach our students to listen to the answers. Nature is constantly talking to us, if only we would take the time to listen.
