THE NEED

Exciting changes are happening in Fayetteville!


The City is improving Beauregard Boulevard and the surrounding area to make City Center more vibrant and accessible than ever.


But as construction continues, the Fayette Environmental Education Center will lose its current parking — just as thousands of students, homeschool families, and visitors depend on us for hands-on environmental learning.


THE CHALLENGE

Without safe and reliable access, many students and teachers could lose the opportunity to experience our classrooms and environmental education opportunities. Our mission to connect people with nature is at risk of being put on pause.


That’s why, this Giving Tuesday (December 2) — and through Year-End Giving (December 31) — we’re raising funds to create a new entrance and improve access from Favor Road, ensuring that environmental education continues uninterrupted.


THE URGENCY

We need to raise $20,000 by December 31 to complete this project before construction closures begin — keeping our gates open for the next generation of nature stewards.

Every dollar brings us closer to maintaining uninterrupted access to learning in nature.


Our Call-To-Action: Give today to keep environmental education within reach — and help us open a new way in for future generations.
