In Summer 2019, Indiana’s Department of Natural Resources and Groundwork Indy partnered with Wendell Phillips School 63 to restore wildlife habitat, provide educators with new environmental skills, create professional development opportunities for local youth, and celebrate the Haughville community. Efforts were funded in part through ROW’s Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust White River Fund.

School 63 students get their hands in the dirt to improve wildlife and waterway habitats.

School 63 educators learn to use Project Wild curriculum in the newly planted spaces.

Groundwork Indy youth gain professional skills with DNR staff.

The Haughville community celebrates with science and outdoor activities.
