Outreach Programs
Let us bring nature to you!
Outreach is a wonderful enrichment opportunity for your students to still have a hands-on and immersive experience with nature. A naturalist will present an interactive program lasting approximately 1 hour, and many of our outreach includes taxidermy animals, puppets, posters, pictures, and live animals when possible. For younger students, a story or craft may be included as well. No special setup is required. The naturalist only needs a small table for visuals and supplies. Outreach is available year-round, subject to availability.

Outreach Information:
  • Reserve your program date early. Dates often fill months in advance.
  • Most outreach sessions last approximately 45 - 60 minutes.
  • Payment may be made on the day of the visit. 
  • Please limit groups to 30 participants or less.
  • Discounts are available for multiple presentations on the same day. 
  • Groups may cancel, but rescheduling will be depended on future availability.
  • All school outreach programs try to incorporate Learning Styles, Core Curriculum, STEM, and Next Generation Science Standards.
  • All available Outreach Programs are listed below. If there is a topic not listed, please ask. We are happy to create a custom program for you.
