Calling all educators and local organizations!

In collaboration with The Crest at Willow-Witt Ranch, we’re co-hosting an open house day for you to get to know the land and people behind the Highlands Connection programs. We welcome educators & partner organizations, old and new, to come out for short walking tours and a brown bag picnic lunch.

Bring your mud shoes, warm layers, water, and brown bag lunch. Carpool and detailed site information will be provided upon RSVP:

Highland Connections: April - June 2025

For local community organizations and school classes grades 4th - 12th.

An Immersive Nature Learning Experience in the Highland ecosystems  with The Crest at Willow-Witt Ranch and Vesper Meadow Education Program.

Expert educators and place-keepers will facilitate groups in building restoration skills, sensory activities, and thoughtful discussions that engage youth in meaningful learning experiences.

Choose 1 or 2 field trip days with our Education teams.

• The Crest: Students will engage in sense of place activities as they tour the farm, forest, and wetlands of Willow Witt Ranch. They will meet goats, participate in biodiversity scavenger hunts, and engage in hands-on stewardship. Contact Liz at education@TheCrestAtWillowWitt.org to schedule a field trip to Willow-Witt Ranch

• The Vesper Meadow Education Program: Students will experience a beautiful wet meadow setting and learn about the connections that tie our community to place. Through an Indigenous perspective lens, students will engage in land stewardship activities and reflect on healing both the land and human relationships. Contact Stasie at Stasie@VesperMeadow.org to schedule a school day or weekend group field trip to the Vesper Meadow Restoration Preserve
