Abstract	When teachers, parents, and community members work together, children benefit (Henderson and Mapp 2002). This is especially true when the collaboration is coordinated and focused as it was for the Greenteam, a science ecology club and an event created by a network of educators, elementary students, and science professionals. The club and a coordinated daylong outdoor science event made science personal and relevant to students, brought working field science to life through real world connections, and engaged science professionals in the education of elementary age kids. This article describes an event that highlighted the power of an outdoor science activity to create excitement about environmental education as well as offer students the opportunity to take the lead in peer teaching.
