Hands On Nature
Grades: Pre-K-2nd
We will use naturalist senses to observe, smell, and touch plants and animals found in the forest. Stalk like a fox, slither like a snake, hide like a box turtle, or roll like a roly poly! Way better than images on a computer screen, we will use our bodies to directly experience nature! Find field trip pricing here.
Maple Sugaring
Grades: Pre-K to college
(Limited trips! Only offered in February)
What is maple sugaring? How do you find trees to tap? What causes sap to flow? Answer these questions during a winter trek in the forest in search of maple trees. We'll enjoy the warmth of a campfire as we discover how to evaporate sap to make syrup and taste some of its sweet reward. Bundle up for the weather, this trip takes place in February.
