The uplands, wetlands, riparian corridor, and cove that make up the creek system offer a rich resource for students to explore, study, and develop stewardship principles in a natural  environment, right in the city. We welcome any teacher or youth leader to this classroom – and your only costs are making a few photocopies and getting here.

Thanks to a combination of grants, private donations, and volunteer effort, we are able to provide

 – a “cafeteria” of learning activities for various ages and objectives
 – equipment for these activities
 – on-site leadership
 – ideas and support for service-learning and research projects in the watershed
 – the flexibility to tailor activities to specific needs or, if a field trip isn’t possible, to bring an appropriate presentation to your classroom.

To schedule, contact us at least three weeks prior to your preferred field-trip date.  If you haven’t been here before, we ask that you arrange to come ahead of time to get acquainted with the site.

If you select a self-guided activity, please let us know. We keep a record of how many students use this classroom every year, plus we can tell you when other groups are already scheduled.
