Imagine a place in Maryland where students can explore the wonders of nature firsthand—whether they're digging in the soil, trekking through scenic trails, or marveling at the majestic Potomac River. This unique place is none other than the Alice Ferguson Foundation, a hub of experiential learning for thousands of Pre K-12 students annually. Here, young minds get to interact with the fascinating realms of science, flora, and fauna, turning textbook knowledge into real-world experiences.
With over 8,000 students engaged in the Bridging the Watershed program, participants embark on immersive journeys to national and state parks within the Potomac Watershed. Through hands-on activities, they unravel the intricacies of watershed dynamics and learn vital lessons on preserving its purity. Not stopping there, the foundation also mobilizes a staggering 10,000 volunteers across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC for impactful trash clean-up initiatives, making a tangible difference in environmental conservation efforts.
