School Programs

We believe science is for everyone and that nature is our biggest teacher. Education is in everything we do as we strive to share the stories of our region and protect this beautiful place we call home. Our field trips, Educator-led workshops, and Docent-led tours are designed to inspire and connect students to the wonders of nature. If you can’t come to us, we’ll come to you with a Docent-led outreach at your school.
