Unplugging & Reconnecting

Welcome to Restoring Connections! We are undergraduate students of the Environmental Leadership Program from the University of Oregon. In partnership with Mount Pisgah Arboretum and Adams Elementary School, the Restoring Connections project is creating a six year program for elementary age students to explore a different habitat for each grade level.



In 2015, we launched our program with the 1st graders of Adams in the oak savanna, continued exploring with 2nd graders in the Douglas-fir forest and finished the year with awakening the senses of Kindergarteners. Our team hopes you enjoy learning and teaching as much as we do!
