Transformative Environmental Education for All Ages

We engage thousands of learners of all ages through transformative environmental education. Whether it's searching for aquatic macroinvertebrates in the river on a hot summer day, trekking through the snow on snowshoes, or going on a birding excursion on our 13-acre property, each experience helps people connect and build a relationship with the natural world. Come learn with us!

We have two different sets of environmental education programs: Youth Programs, which are designed for students from grades TK-12 (primarily elementary-aged students), and Community Programs, which are designed for adults and families. Learn more about our programs below!
