Mary Scott Community Orchard Annual Sponsorship

---

We would love to talk with you about joining and supporting our vision to bring local students into the heart of nature through our Orchard Educational Outreach Program. This program offers hands-on, immersive learning experiences for students of various ages and grades, connecting them with the natural world and fostering a deeper appreciation for sustainability, agriculture, and environmental stewardship. Sponsorship helps us achieve increasing levels of program offerings. 

From April through October, the Mary Scott Community Orchard hosts class and group trips that provide engaging, interactive activities for students. Guided by experienced educators, students will learn about plant life cycles, pollination, the importance of biodiversity, and the benefits of growing local produce. Through planting, harvesting, and orchard maintenance, these hands-on experiences reinforce STEM concepts, teamwork, and responsibility. 

Positive Community Impact: Your sponsorship helps provide enriching outdoor educational experiences that might otherwise be inaccessible to many students.

Brand Visibility: Gain exposure to communities of families and others who value community-focused initiatives.

Corporate Responsibility: Demonstrate your commitment to environmental education, sustainability, and youth engagement.

Tax-Deductible Donation: Wood Block Press is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Richmond, Indiana. All donations that support the operation and outreach of the Mary Scott      Community Orchard are tax-deductible.
