DIRT, brings hands on education to the community through recreational activities; we learn by doing- and we grow! Our projects are multi faceted, we direct our attention to underutilized properties, create space for learning, and in turn, create community.

​

These acts are changing our urban climate- we are being the change we wish to see in the world today!

​

If you can dream it, you can do it. The original outdoor learning center was built on a little dream to convert an old parking lot into a useful place for children to learn. DIRT has grown with it's community and over the years we have adjusted to what was needed. We built an aquaponic system, a food forest, manage an arboretum, offer free monthly engagement programs for all ages, devote resources to building a land steward program and are partners in the 20,000 sq. ft. makerspace called CraterWorks.

 

You really can do anything you put your mind to.
