Greetings From TerraBirds

Ponderosa High School Greenhouses/Garden
Terra Birds Hone

Terra BIRDS wishes to thank and recognize the partners and supporters who help us in our mission.

Since 2012, Terra BIRDS grew from a part-time staff of two and just a few school garden projects, to a staff of five and a rotating crew of paid youth interns, with thousands of youth and community members in garden and stewardship projects all over Flagstaff.  The goal of these projects is to promote health and wellness, work and life skills, and hands-on education for young people; to create and sustain beautiful, ecologically healthy, accessible natural environments in our urban setting; and to collaborate in Northern Arizona's community-wide vision of sustainability (environmental, economic, and social).  Please read through the following Partners and Supporters list, and know that there is a story connected to each of these names.  Special acknowledgement goes out to the Coconino County Accommodation School District, providing Terra BIRDS with a home at Ponderosa High School.  Please seek information about these entities, support them, and know that they are partners in improving lives and making Flagstaff a better community.


In September of this year, Terra BIRDS launched our School Gardens Grow Healthy Kids campaign to raise $35,000 to maintain our cornerstone garden program in the Flagstaff Unifieds School District elementary schools.  We are happy to report that we have raised $22,989 of this goal.  If you have not yet contributed, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to Terra BIRDS to help us achieve this goal.  Just $30 funds an hour in the garden for twenty-five or more kids and their teachers!  Please consider forwarding this letter to friends who you think may be able to help us in raising future generations of thoughtful stewards.

In closing for 2015, Terra BIRDS extends our sincere thanks to all of these Partners and Supporters.  As Director, I would also like to thank our dedicated staff, volunteers, and board members.  And finally, honors and thanks go out to the thousands of BIRDS:  youth and community gardeners Being Innovative Resourceful Dedicated Stewards.  Let's continue to support them.

Very best and thanks-
