We are dedicated to providing local environmental science education and imparting a sense of place to students. Each Education Program includes an exciting variety of inquiry-based structured learning experiences for school-aged groups from public, private, and home schools. All programs provide hands-on learning experiences through indoor and outdoor activities. Students interact through inquiry discussions and questions to help them apply what they already know to their new experiences. Programs are aligned to Virginia SOL and are designed to complement and enhance what educators are teaching in their classrooms.
