Our Programs

Each 15-Minute Field Trip program is designed to be compact, low-cost, and adaptable. Sessions emphasize observation, critical thinking, and local ecological understanding.
Typical topics include:

Exploring biodiversity in local habitats
Investigating water quality and conservation
Understanding human impact on ecosystems
Practicing recycling, composting, and habitat restoration

Educators can request teacher guides, data-collection templates, and student certificates. All materials align with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and encourage interdisciplinary connections between science, art, and civic responsibility.
