Youth Programs

Bringing trained naturalists to elementary students across North Central Washington

The Traveling Naturalist Classroom Program reaches 4th and 5th grade classrooms across North Central Washington. Curriculum is experiential, aligns with Next Generation Science Standards, and focuses on structure and function in the natural world. The program includes:

  • Monthly classroom visits.
  • Field days at WRI’s 13-acre campus in Leavenworth or at a natural area nearby the school.

Currently, WRI is visiting 5 different elementary schools including 24 classrooms of 4th and 5th grade students. Each class will be visited about 7 times throughout the school year!
