These presentations could be themed or custom designed to meet specific academic standards or the interests of your group. Examples of presentation themes may include: Animal Kingdom; Adaptations; Amazing Reptiles; Predator and Prey; Food Webs; Endangered Species; Diurnal and Nocturnal.

Traveling Naturalist Programs

Want to get you class, camp, or other group outdoors? At our Traveling Naturalist Programs you can select a location, like a park or a trail, and one of our trained staff will meet you there to guide you through nature! Whether you'd like to get wet and wild in a creek or stick to the trails we will have something for your group! Some of the topics you can pick from are:

Stream Study

If the location you want to go has a creek or river, we can run one of these. We will bring along nets, buckets, and worksheets that we can use to assess the health of a body of water by looking for macro invertebrates!

Bug Hunt

Similar to our Stream Study, we will bring nets out to one of our fields or a location near you! Our trained entomologists will help humanely capture, examine, and identify our backyard bugs, before we release them all back into the wild!

Nature Hike

Our staff will meet you at your location and lead you on a hike through nature! We will bring along a backpack full of games that are used to show how animals perceive their environments as we go!

Other

Have your own idea of what you'd like to learn or cover? Let us know and we will work with you to create a new program!

Please notify us upon booking what you would like the theme of your traveling naturalist program to be, and please book at least two weeks in advance so that we can give parks notice that we will be there!
