We are so excited for schools to start up again! In the 2024-2025 school year, we will focus on making lasting impacts on students and their understanding of conservation and the environment. To accomplish this, we will offer loaner trunks for K-6 programs instead of traditional classroom visits. Each trunk will be filled with hands-on activities, detailed lesson plans, and engaging materials on specific topics. These trunks aim to reach more students, offer a wider range of activities, and make a larger impact.

Additionally, we be putting more focus on field experiences. Our field trips will include stream sampling, macroinvertebrate identification, soil testing, and more. These hands-on experiences will enhance learning and foster a stronger connection to the environment. For upper-grade students, we will continue offering in-person classroom visits on topics such as sustainable agriculture, local environmental issues, and soil/water quality. These visits will feature interactive discussions, case studies, and hands-on activities to encourage critical thinking about environmental problems and solutions. We will also support extracurricular clubs and competitions, such as Envirothon teams, which foster teamwork, problem-solving, and a deeper understanding of ecological principles.
