About the project
This project phase is the FULL-BUILD and CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS for the MMS Boardwalk & Outdoor Classroom. The Full-build phase includes all permitting and construction of the footings, supports, decking and platform of the boardwalk. Super special thank-you to ANF Architects for creating the design!
Here's what we need:
$100 DONATION = AN ENTIRE PLANK OF BOARDWALK!
$35 DONATION = 1 FOOT OF BOARDWALK!
**This is the final fundraising opportunity for this project - it's the last time we will ask for donations!**
The Wolf River Harbor Boardwalk will be used by Maria Montessori School students to study Wolf River ecology, exploring the beautiful natural environment adjacent to the school. Mr Fletcher has a vision to turn the existing trail into a boardwalk with an simple outdoor classroom space. MMS students are excited to help build and use the boardwalk to explore the bank of the Wolf River.
The boardwalk will also serve as a connection between the Amphitheatre and the Field, and connect MMS to the Harbortown Neighborhood. Open to the public, the Wolf River Harbor Boardwalk will be open to residents and visitors to Harbor Town.
The Steps
March 2015 Site Prep and Clean-up Day, late March 2015 install boardwalk footings, April 2015 campaign for full build, April and May 2015 complete construction.
Why we‘re doing it
The MMS Wolf River Harbor Boardwalk will provide safe access for MMS children, and Harbor Town visitors and residents, to enjoy and explore the Wolf River.
