Plans for a new agricultural education center at Friends School of Harford County are underway, with proposals submitted to the county in August. The ambitious project aims to enhance the school's educational offerings by incorporating hands-on agricultural experiences for students.
The proposed center will feature a spacious pavilion equipped with restrooms, designed to accommodate various educational activities and community events. The location of the center is strategically placed on the school’s campus, situated on the Falls Creek Farm property, which provides ample space for outdoor learning and agricultural practices.
This initiative reflects the school's commitment to fostering environmental stewardship and agricultural literacy among students. With construction slated to begin next summer, the agricultural education center is expected to serve as a vital resource for both students and the broader community, promoting sustainable practices and encouraging a deeper understanding of agriculture's role in society. The project is eagerly anticipated by faculty, students, and parents alike.
