Making Toad Houses at Pelion Outdoor Classroom

In this workshop, students will learn about the ecological needs of frogs, toads, and other creatures while creating their own toad houses that they can take home!

Still have jack-o-lanterns or pumpkins after the Halloween season? Bring them with you to the event! Pelion will put this decor that would otherwise be trashed to good use.

In our workshop series "Goin' and Growin'", students will get the chance to get outdoors and connect to nature while creating beautiful art along the way! This summer, LSA is partnering with Urban Farms and Community Gardens across the city of Buffalo to promote community based creativity and environmentally friendly art. From painting to photography, this series offers learning experiences for all ages!

All proceeds from this workshop series will go towards LSA's free community art class fund and the partnering Urban Farm or Community Garden. To learn more about Locust Street Art visit www.locuststreetart.org or email [email protected]

Accessibility: This workshop will take place at Pelion Outdoor Classroom. While the volunteers at Pelion do their best to keep paths as clear as possible, this workshop may take place in part on uneven ground.

"The Pelion Community Garden was established in 2011. The effort was spearheaded by a former City Honors parent who had a vision of turning the four vacant city lots across the street from the school into an environmental learning center and outdoor classroom serving the students of City Honors and the greater school neighborhood.

"Over the past ten years the garden has developed into a thriving hub of school activity, with programming that serves students in a variety of academic and arts disciplines. Each year teacher involvement with the garden has grown; in every marking period you can find any variety of classes utilizing the garden for hands-on learning."
