EDUCATIONAL TRAIL
LEAVING A LASTING LEGACY ON THE LEWIS AND CLARK TRAIL
The Lewis and Clark Educational Trail will create an interactive experience for kids providing the opportunity for creative play and standards-based learning in the great outdoors. In addition to creating a trail that is environmental, educational, and physical, this project will beautify the front of Lewis and Clark Elementary and establish a one-of-a-kind symbol of pride for the students, teachers and parents of Caroline County.
