Project Goal Summary

The Farragut Outdoor Classroom & Water Quality Demonstration Site is an interactive community space with two primary purposes that differentiate it from a traditional park setting. First, the space was created to demonstrate water quality best management practices that can be used to reduce and treat stormwater runoff. Second, the space was created to rally the community around a location to do projects that nurture a greater sense of civic engagement, community ownership and understanding of the natural world.

Project Feedback

Phyllis Sanders

Hello! Your project has a lot of great aspects to it, I love the focused effort! I am very curious how you went about funding the solar pavilion? Were you able to work closely with a Solar Company for sponsorship, did you use a grant, or were you able to fundraise enough donations? Awesome work, looking forward to seeing more progress photos!
