From dunwoodynature.org/education/field-trips ↗About this program
trained staff of environmental educators for a hands-on learning experience that reinforces and brings to life the STEM concepts that they are taught in the classroom.
Our field trips are correlated to Georgia Standards of Excellence according to grade level and subject area using academically-based curriculum materials. We feature three distinct habitats — stream, wetlands, and forest — that are ideally suited to enhance the fundamentals of environmental science in a controlled setting.
Many of our field trips are available for outreach at your school as well. To learn more scroll down to see all of our field trips by grade level.
Field Trips are not available during June, July, or August or during Dekalb County school breaks.
