Our Pre K through 2nd grade students are introduced to the wonders of nature through engaging, hands-on lessons.

School age youth discover the fascinating natural world through experiments, exploration, and team building exercises.

Students learn about complex ecosystems, conservation techniques, and our impact on the shared environment.

Every spring we invite classrooms and famillies to experience old fashioned maple sugaring. Join us as we look for plant and animal signs of spring, play some of the Indigenous winter games, tap sugar maples, race in snowshoes, and look out for Turkey Vultures, all before tasting the delicious maple syrup!

Throughout the summer, experience the NHNC through guided hikes, birdwatching, plant identification, and more! You'll have plenty of opportunities to get hands on by helping improve trails, remove invasive plants, and participate in plant and animal monitoring!

This innovative initiative uses a dynamic combination of experiential learning activities, conservation projects and paid natural resources internships to promote natural resources careers to low-income and minority high school and college students.
