CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF SUCCESS!

Our Expansion Vision
Creating a Community-Centered Learning Space
Our goal is to transform Wildwood Environmental Academy’s campus into a hub for learning and recreation that benefits both our students and the broader community. This vision includes creating interactive spaces— such as a greenhouse, butterfly habitat, prairie, nature trails, and a STEM-focused play area—that foster a deep connection to the environment. Through this expansion, we aim to nurture our students’ curiosity and provide our neighbors and friends with hands-on learning opportunities that promote environmental awareness and engagement.
A Three-Phase Plan for Growth
Our expansion will unfold in three carefully planned phases, each designed to progressively enhance our campus and community resources. With each phase, we will open more interactive, accessible spaces that align with our educational mission and offer enriching experiences for the community surrounding WEA. This phased approach ensures that each addition is thoughtfully integrated into our campus, creating a safe, engaging, and educational environment for all.
