The Cedar Rapids Community School District announced it is joining the Nature Everywhere Communities initiative to develop green schoolyards and outdoor learning spaces in partnership with the Indian Creek Nature Center and the City of Cedar Rapids.

Isabelle (host) said the program will create trails, gardens, natural play areas and more, and invited community feedback via a survey linked in the district newsletter. The podcast emphasized partner organizations but did not include details on which schools will receive work, project timelines, budgets, or maintenance responsibilities.

The announcement invited public input but provided no board action or funding details in the recording.
