adjacent


Explanation:
All it means is schools right next to the reserve, not related to suburbia. They could be rural schools located next to a nature reserve.

bordering


Explanation:
bordering is a possible option:

The (education of the) butterfly in schools bordering the reserve.

I don't think suburbs would be appropriate here because that would sound as if the schools are just outside the city. What do you mean by butterfly?

Butterfly education in schools adjoining the reserve


Explanation:
"Schools near/bordering..." and "schools adjacent to the reserve" are also correct.

You can say "education ON butterfliesº or "education on the butterfly", but it is perhaps a bit less common.
