Caprock Academy is seeking community support to help build a new school garden that will serve as a hands-on, outdoor classroom for its K-12 students.

The project is designed to give students real-world learning opportunities while building environmental awareness and a connection to the outdoors. As a charter school with limited funding, Caprock Academy is relying on donations of materials, equipment and expertise to bring the garden to life.

The school is seeking items such as lumber or wood scraps, building materials for raised beds, benches and shade structures, irrigation parts and tools or machinery to help prepare the garden site. Skilled volunteers with relevant experience are also encouraged to help.

Those interested in contributing can contact Jennifer Heil at j.heil@caprockacademy.org or call 970-985-2277.
