The Cedar Lake School Forest is a living classroom rooted in the heart of Minneapolis. It grows from the legacy of the Cedar Lake Park Association, whose generations of stewardship helped protect these irreplaceable natural lands surrounding one of the city's beloved lakes. Here, students and visitors can connect with native ecosystems and discover how time spent in nature can inspire us to learn, to protect, to care for all things, and to nurture our role as caretakers of the earth.
