Teamwork makes the DREAM Work!

Something incredible is happening at Edison Elementary in Long Beach and it’s all thanks to the power of community! Together, with the dedication of Edison families, staff, and local partners, we’ve transformed a space on the upper campus into a beautiful, calming nature path that will inspire students for years to come.

This isn’t just a path - it’s an outdoor classroom, a place for students to relax, focus, and connect with nature. Whether they’re pausing for a moment of calm, discovering the world of pollinators, or using this space for hands-on learning, the Edison Nature Path is now a vibrant part of their school experience. 

With every step, students will have the chance to explore, learn, and grow - right in their own schoolyard. This is what happens when a community comes together with a shared vision: something beautiful takes root!

A Huge Thank You!
To the amazing Edison Elementary families and staff - your hard work, teamwork, and dedication made this vision a reality. You proved that it truly takes a village to create something special!

To the Xerces Society - thank you for your generous donation of beautiful native plants! These plants will not only bring color and life to the space but also support local pollinators and give students a front-row seat to nature’s magic.
