Field Trip: Caring and Connecting to the Earth: Grades K to 2

Humans are connected to the Earth in nearly every part of our lives. Our food, our water, our air all come from the world around us. To make sure those connections and those environments remain healthy, humans have learned to protect and care for the Earth. During this program students will explore composting, recycling, and sustainability with hands on observations and activities.

Field trips are 2 hour guided programs led by Teacher Naturalists and are held outdoors. Schools are welcome to extend the field trip with an outdoor picnic lunch/snack and a visit to the nature play area. School groups are divided into groups of 15 students with 1 Teacher Naturalist.
