🍂Celebrating the Wolcott Community Forest!

Wolcott Elementary recently welcomed 𝗨.𝗦. 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗵 and community partners for a special visit to celebrate the 735-acre Wolcott Community Forest—and the incredible collaboration that made it possible.

For our students, the forest is more than conserved land. It’s an outdoor classroom, a place to explore and learn, and a space to pause, listen, and connect with nature.
