Stonehouse’s “Habitat Garden” Highlighted On Virginia’s “Love A Tree” Poster

The Stonehouse Elementary Habitat Garden is featured by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries on its new “Love a Tree” poster. The two-sided poster, titled “Habitats Bring Schoolyards to Life,” promotes using the Standards of Learning in outdoor classrooms such as Stonehouse’s habitat garden. The front of the poster includes several photos taken in the Habitat by parent volunteer Jan Newton. The back of the poster is an excellent resource for teachers, listing native plants for wildlife habitats, books, lesson plans and websites for connecting SOLs to habitat activities. “It is a great honor to have our wildlife habitat recognized by the state as a great learning resource,” said Stonehouse Principal Kim Pickles.
