Welcome Educators!
This page is just for you full of hands on and creative resources!
Thank you for making the 2023-24 school year a success! We plan to continue and grow this partnership with local area schools in the 2024-25 academic year and we couldn't be more excited!

Overview Of Programs
All programs are implemented by one of our Educators. Classes can come to us or we can even come to you to implement a program in your classroom.
The goal of our programs is to:
- share the history of this unique region.
-inspire environmental stewardship, critical thinking, and a well-rounded mindset.
-prepare students as they continue to the next chapter of their lives.
-focus on wetland ecosystems, our waterways, and the natural balance of sensitive habit.
We want to engage students in the material they learn in class through hands-on activities and enhance the already existing curriculum being used in schools.
