AKRON, Ohio – Kids Country Day School in Stow was recently dedicated as an official WILD School Site, making it the 188th site dedicated in Ohio and the 17th in Summit County.

WILD School Sites are considered an extension of Project WILD, which can involve school property used by students, teachrs and the community to learn about and benefit from the environment and wildlife.

At Kids Country Day School, projects include pollinator gardens, water sources, bird feeders, trees and shrub plantings. The purpose of the space is to teach students about the natural world. 

The WILD School Sites program is administered in Ohio by the Division of Wildlife. The sites work within the premise that schools, regardless of size and location, can provide outdoor educational opportunities.
