NSU University School Butterfly Garden Recognized with Broward County NatureScape Emerald Award
NSU University School sophomore Duncan Jurman and Upper School Science Teacher Chana Goodman were recognized for their work with our school’s butterfly vivarium by being presented with the Broward County Government NatureScape Emerald Award for excellence and best environmental practices in a school garden. This award recognizes businesses, municipalities, schools, government facilities, and homeowners that have created and maintained model Florida-friendly landscapes or completed exceptional projects.
The butterfly garden and vivarium are located just outside of the Middle School but all NSU University School students in grades junior kindergarten through 12th grade have the opportunity to interact with the butterflies as part of their curriculum.
The NatureScape award was recently presented at the annual Water Matters Day event, the county’s signature water conservation event where residents learn about local and regional water resources, how water is managed, and how Broward’s water managers are planning to meet our future water needs.
Congratulations on this special recognition!
