Nature Field Trips
Nature Field Trips are available from late April to early October to connect young groups with nature. Each 2 hour outing incorporates a core nature component presented by a naturalist or relevant specialist, a hands-on component encouraging interaction with the natural world, and a history component that opens up young minds to a different time and way of life. Funding is provided for certain groups. Please fill out an application here. Each Nature Field Trip can accommodate about 70 participants, plus teachers/chaperone.
Field Trip days are designed for up to 3 classrooms to complete the rotations concurrently, though small groups, homeschools, and daycares are all welcome.
