Community Education
Also see our School Programs

Boxerwood is a "living lab." NEWTS cleans our own waste water and rain gardens filter runoff. As you walk through the garden, there is information about habitats, plants, and animal behaviour. The Welcome Center has reference books, pamphlets on plant care, and birding information. Gardening tips are on our website and you can ask a question on our Facebook Discussion Page. We are also the site for the Rockbridge Master Naturalist classes.

Watershed issues are a main focus for community outreach programs. We teamed with the City of Lexington and other community groups to produce an informative booklet about Rain Gardens. We have participated in Woods Creek Restoration Days since its inception. The picture above shows students and adults helping to install a rain garden along Woods Creek.

And the list goes on .......
