Education
Programming
Each year our program coordinator forms a partnership with one
or more of the county elementary schools. Working with two or
more classes per school, the partnership studies one nature topic
in depth for the school year.
Summer Explorers
Designed for children ages 8-12, the Explorers Program introduces
children to, and instructs them in, a variety of nature topics.
Through exploration, discussion, experimentation and creative
activities, children learn about their natural environment and
its relationship to their lives.
