Nature Rangers

Detailed Program Overview (PDF | HTML)

Students practice being naturalists by making observations and comparing natural communities and different ecosystems as they go on a 2-mile hike through Pogonip Open Space Preserve. Thinking about nature as a system, physically connecting these ecosystems by walking through them and collecting data to compare them, help students better understand the environment and begin to realize they too are part of natural systems.

OPTIONAL RESOURCES

Upon submission of your field trip request, your class will automatically be scheduled for a Classroom Presentation ($25, 1 hour) and Educational Kit ($15 per week). The classroom presentation will be scheduled for one week before your field trip at 1 p.m. and you will receive your Educational Kit during the presentation, which will be due back at the time of your field trip. This is the recommended configuration to maximize the impact of the full program.


Please indicate below if you would like to decline the kit rental and/or classroom presentation. Otherwise we will assume that you accept the additional resource(s).
