What we have in place
- We currently have:

How this will help
This project will save us $6,775 , allowing us to further invest in our mission which includes providing programs to schools, care of 7 acres of greenspace, and diverse and enriching community classes and events.
Our organization was guided by a strategic plan from 2015-2018. We based our annual work plans on the strategic plan. It was instrumental in growing our organization to the next level. To ensure the viability of our organization, we need a comprehensive plan that guides the future direction of Wylde Center and acts as a mechanism that addresses the ongoing needs of the communities we serve. We would like a 5-10 year plan for longer term visioning.

What we do
Our special mix of hands-on environmental education, community programming and organic gardens inspires greener, healthier, more connected communities in metro Atlanta.
Environmental Education
* We bring the wonders and science of nature to 16,000 schoolchildren a year to create a more inclusive, better quality of life for us all.
* We lead by example, offering classes and expert coaching to show our neighbors how to preserve and protect our natural environment.
Community Programming
* We bring locally-grown food into schools and underserved communities to teach everyone about healthy eating.
* We bring neighbors together through our educational children's camps and community events that range from beer gardens and campfires to ice cream socials and concerts.
Gardens
* We maintain five different gardens - two in Atlanta and three in the Decatur area - as a year-round resource for local communities.
* We offer seven acres of magical places filled with Hobbit Houses, fairy gardens and wildlife for you to explore and connect with nature and neighbors.
