Our outdoor environmental education programs offer hands-on, nature based activities that will bring your science curriculum to life. They are designed to meet both Common Core State Standards and the New Mexico STEM Ready Standards and Benchmarks.  Our programs blend scientific concepts with literacy, math, history, and inquiry to provide an educational and inspirational experience.

Due to COVID-19, all of our educational programs are being hosted virtually for fall 2020. If you are interested in a virtual field trip, please reach out to Education Specialist, Sally Maxwell. Virtual field trip topics, duration, and cost are flexible. Possible topics include: 

• Wings, Feathers & Flight
• Migration
• Bird Observation & Drawing 

If there are other topics you would like to explore with your class, please let us know and we can work with you on creating a virtual experience for your classroom!
