Education

The Wildlife Heritage Foundation’s Education Outreach Program is a fundamental and vital part of our organization. We are committed to providing educational opportunities for students of all ages to experience, hands-on, the wildlife and habitats of our protected open-space preserves.

Our protected preserves comprise oak woodlands, grasslands, vernal pools, perennial streams, ponds, riparian habitats, drainage channels, and marshes, to name a few. We also maintain habitats to support waterfowl, mammals, and amphibians, as well as special-status species such as giant garter snakes, Swainson’s hawks, and burrowing owls. The preserves promote knowledge and understanding of our wildlife heritage as well as protect viable habitat. They are teeming with life and learning opportunities!

WHF offers various educational opportunities for teachers and students, such as nature walks throughout our various nature preserves led by our fully credentialed teacher and wildlife biologists. These are excellent opportunities for students to get out and experience, live and in person, what nature has to offer. In addition, we offer in-class science labs linked to our field experiences and additional lesson plans to use in class. Teachers: feel free to ask us to plan around what you are studying in class. Our education program director is happy to work with you to create an amazing experience for you and your students.
As always, our educational programs and field trips are free of charge. This is our gift to the community and all students. You need only to set up dates and exchange information with our education program director.
