About the Organization

Montessori School of Durham is committed to the joy of learning and seeks to educate the “whole child,” addressing each aspect of development. With the help of the MSD community, the school has been working to create a bird and pollinator friendly campus by using native plant species. Creating a natural environment on campus provides students with an opportunity to learn about native plant species and the insects and birds that they support. By participating in campus beautification, the MSD community becomes invested in their campus environment and are provided with a peaceful and beautiful place for outdoor learning and gathering. Additionally, the school hosts bees with Budda Bee Apiary and has been working with New Hope Audubon Society to develop a certified bird friendly habitat on campus. Planting native species will help support and maintain both of these efforts. Thank you for the consideration.
