Following the Town of Monroe's purchase of this 170-acre parcel of land as permanent open space, oversight was given to the Monroe Conservation Commission. Their vision created an outdoor learning center and "living laboratory" to offer Monroe students a distinct advantage through "hands-on" education.
Working closely with Monroe Public Schools, curricula are in development utilizing the Webb Mountain Discovery Zone for field study of science, history, social studies and art from elementary grades through high school.
In the Spring, area scout troops will complete construction on an outdoor classroom facility that will be available for use by area schools, groups, and organizations.
