Field Trips at the Douglas-Hart Nature Center
What is a field trip?
Groups meet at Douglas-Hart Nature Center for a hands-on, outdoor adventure led by a trained naturalist. Field trips through the Douglas-Hart Foundation are carefully aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the North American Association for Environmental Education Guidelines for Excellence to ensure the experiences enrich and expand the curriculum, strengthen observation skills, immerse children in sensory activities, increase children's environmental knowledge, and expand children's awareness of their community! Field trips are available year-round and subject to availability. Field trips are $3 per student or a minimum of $30 for groups with less than 10. Participating siblings in attendance will also be charged $1. While at the nature center, groups can take advantage of on your own activities: picnic lunch, nature play area, visitor center exploration, and more!
