With support from the Dixon Water Foundation, Mimms Unit serves as an outdoor classroom for K-8 students at Marfa International School.
Launched in fall 2013, MIS students in the “Living Classroom” field program learn about sustainable land management, water quality, soil health, desert plants and animals, and other topics through hands-on activities at the ranch. The inaugural year culminated with students presenting documentaries and soundscapes about their experiences at the ranch and other nature-oriented subjects at the MIS Media Festival.
