This week marks our seventh week of hosting a total of 15 camps this summer, but the past two have been very special. Through a Meta Community Action Grant, we have been able to provide complimentary environmental STEM camps to families of Cristo Rey Fort Worth College Prep and blind and visually impaired students through Lighthouse for the Blind of Fort Worth. For many of these young minds, it is their first time experiencing the wonder of hands-on STEM learning in a natural setting. Campers took nature walks, collected plant samples, built prototypes out of recycled material for trash clean up, made marble mazes, and so much more! Environmental STEM learning is essential for students of all backgrounds and abilities. We thank Meta for helping us further our mission to explore, discover, and engage with the entire community.

Relaxing...calm...tranquil... 😌 If you've ever visited FWBG's Japanese Garden, these words may spark memory of your visit. But we aren't the only ones who think so! 🌲 According to qualitative research carried out by Earth.fm on where to find respite from sound pollution in larger cities in the US, FWBG's Japanese Garden has been named Fort Worth's most peaceful place in a new analysis! How does this work?! 🌍 From Earth.fm: Spanning the UK, Europe and US, the new research by Earth.fm—a non-profit which is like Spotify, but for nature sounds—aims to connect residents and tourists in some of the world's 'noisiest' cities with nearby parks and open spaces that visitors describe as calm and peaceful. Researchers at Earth.fm gave each place a ‘Quiet Score’—and Fort Worth Japanese Garden came out at the top. What better way to celebrate than spending some quiet time taking a walk through the Japanese Garden? 🥰
