Your Support Opens the Outdoors to Every Child.

Every child deserves the chance to step outside and discover the wonders of the natural world. Yet today, far too many children never get the opportunity to test the river’s water, hike a forest trail, or experience the joy of learning through nature.

At the Alice Ferguson Foundation, outdoor learning is about more than a memorable day outside — it’s about shaping how young people see themselves and their world. Students who participate in programs at Hard Bargain Farm return to their classrooms and homes with greater curiosity, stronger confidence, and a lasting sense of stewardship for the environment.

These are the qualities we need in future generations, and with your help, we can ensure that every student has access to these transformative experiences.

Your donation to the Every Student Outside campaign helps:
🌿 Provide hands-on field studies for students
🚌 Fund transportation for schools with limited resources
📚 Support educators and program materials
🏞️ Maintain the trails, wetlands, and living classrooms at Hard Bargain Farm

Together, we can open the outdoors to every child and inspire the next generation of environmental stewards.
