Laraway's playground has a new addition to greet our students when they return to campus from summer vacation: a beautiful footbridge donated to Laraway via a special partnership with the Yestermorrow Design and Build School in Warren, Vermont.
Yestermorrow, founded in 1980, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose stated mission is to inspire people to, "...create a better, more sustainable world by providing hands-on education that integrates design and craft as a creative, interactive process."
Cornelius Murphy, Laraway's Land Steward, intentionally sought out this partnership given our agencies' shared commitment to providing non-traditional hands-on learning. The
footbridge, built by a Yestermorrow class, serves as a lovely and welcoming gateway to our
playground. It passes over a small drainage area full of wildflowers. The bridge's built-in bench invites one to sit down for a rest while taking in expansive views across our property. Thank you, Yestermorrow!
