The mission of this creative project was to naturalize a school site for the purposes of environmental education. The naturalization process can either take the form of landscape/ecosystem restoration or natural landscaping. Utilizing the Ladysmith Elementary School as a case study, this creative project dealt with both forms of the naturalization process. The entire school site was natural landscaped and a portion of the school grounds was devoted to the restoration of a forest and wetland ecosystem. This area where ecosystems are to be recreated will serve as an environmental learning laboratory for the school.The topics reviewed for this project ecology, naturalization, landscape restoration, environmental education, outdoor education, and ecosystems. The product of this creative project was a master plan which included site inventory and analysis. / Department of Landscape Architecture
