The Virginia Cooperative Extension program offers youth health and nutrition classes through their Family Nutrition Program mission in order to teach students how to make healthier food choices.
This website has resources for teachers including lesson plans, maps of Virginia, access to grants, and more. The goal is to connect our students to the agriculture around them.
LHL has supported gardens in our community as a way to learn about and access healthy foods. Bedford Hills Elementary School has one pictured here. If your school does not yet, this website has suggestions how to get started.
Additionally, Lynchburg Parks & Rec has gardens at each of their community centers.
