Operation Wildflower is an ESD Living Lab

An ESD Living Lab is a real-world learning space where 5–25 students become agents of change. They test their local system’s ability to accelerate sustainable development — finding the easy wins and identifying areas of weakness — so communities can move faster and smarter toward a greener future.
