Ecology Hikes
Join us for guided nature hikes for students ages 5 through 12th grade. Along the way, students explore local plants, wildlife, habitats, and ecosystems while building a deeper understanding of ecology, conservation, and the natural world. With a relaxed, family-friendly pace, each hike is designed to be educational, enjoyable, and accessible for a range of ages and experience levels. Proceeds also support our in-house conservation fund, giving students the opportunity not only to learn about the environment, but to help care for it in our own region.
Fee: $25/student. Parents & Siblings under 5 may accompany for no additional charge. All proceeds go towards student involved conservation projects.
