Environmental Education School Programs

Our Environmental Education Programs at the 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 provide school children with the unique opportunity of learning more about wildlife and nature while outdoors. All of our education programs are ranger guided and begin with an introduction to the 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 and the 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 Wildlife Sanctuary. The concept of wildlife is discussed and relevant safety points are extensively described.

Our education programs are designed for K-9 grade. We strive to bring youth and the community into nature, hosting our programs in the 382 acre Sawmill Slough Preserve on campus. Along our five mile trail system, we teach participants about the local plants, animals and habitats that make up the preserve. Every program can be adapted to suit the age group of your students.

Each program is $6 per student/chaperone and free for teachers.
