OFE Certifications

During the 2004-2005 school year Oak Forest was certified by the
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department as an official Texas Wildlife
Habitat! OFE has also been certified by the National Wildlife
Federation as a Schoolyard Habitat! No other school has both
certifications!

We are also certified as a Demonstration Site! This means that
Vivian Cardoso has been trained to teach other schools to do
what we do. We encourage other schools to visit us to gather
ideas to help them get started!

We recently became a "Certified Audubon Cooperative
Sanctuary" by Audubon International. Thanks to our sponsorship
from and partnership with the Kingwood Country Club, we have
been recognized in the January/February 2007 International
Audubon newsletter.


We are also a member of Urban Harvest, a Houston based
organization that promotes gardening and nature in school
settings.
