Learning About The Outdoors In Butte Falls

Butte Falls School District

Some schools are just closer to nature than others. 

So it is with Butte Falls Charter School, nestled in the foothills of the Cascades.  Trees and mountains and streams are all close at hand, and part of the educational curriculum for the school. 

In fact, the school is now in charge of restoring a long-closed fish hatchery to help teach students.  We explore the setup at Butte Falls with teacher Chris Mathas and student Tony Tacchini.
