Education and Mentorship Programs
Whether our learning place is in the classroom, around town, or the open space of Vesper Meadow, we create joyful experiences with practical applications. Our integrated programs engage a diversity of learning styles, and are infused with elements of stewardship, science, and art.
We enhance educational experiences with hands-on activities, connecting with inter-generational mentors, and providing ways to take action on local environmental issues. From small group classes to K-12 field trips, we provide a wide array of educational opportunities for the public.
