An “outdoor classroom” sprawling over 96 acres of forests, prairies and farmland, Little Creek is owned and operated by the Ferguson-Florissant School District to offer hands-on learning for students in ecology, biology and environmental science. The property also includes a working farm, a butterfly garden, an arboretum, a restored prairie, a museum and a 19th-century log cabin.
