Community Engagement

At Pitney Meadows, we believe that learning is most impactful when it happens through experiential exploration within the living classroom of our working farm and protected forest. Our community engagement opportunities are built on the idea that learning is a collective endeavor—one that thrives on interaction, dialogue, and community building. We recognize that every participant brings a unique perspective, which enriches the learning experience for all. In this way, everyone is both a learner and a teacher.

Our programs offer ideas and activities that seamlessly connect to both individual lives and our broader community. The lessons we explore together resonate deeply, extending beyond the farm and forest and into the everyday moments we share.

For us, learning isn't just about acquiring knowledge; it's about experiencing it firsthand, rooted in the rich soil of our living classroom. We embrace learning as a collaborative journey—one that transforms each of us and strengthens the collective bond of our community.

Accessibility

As we continue to build and sustain a welcoming and inclusive environment at Pitney Meadows, we want to emphasize our commitment to accessibility for all. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to engage with the educational experiences we offer, regardless of their financial situation. 

Your generous gifts to our organization directly support this commitment. By donating to Pitney Meadows, you help ensure that we can continue to offer meaningful, enriching learning experiences without financial barriers. Your contributions allow us to keep our programs open to everyone, fostering a community where individuals can learn, grow, and connect with the land and each other in meaningful ways.
