This guide has been created to provide K-12 educators and administrators in Georgia with information to help them harnass the educational potential of their school grounds. Although much of the information is specific to Georgia, we hope that others interested in outdoor classrooms will find information of use to them as well. We welcome suggestions regarding resources to add to this guide, as well as comments about its current content and format.
