Our environmental educators serve approximately 7,500 elementary students during the school year for grade level specific field trips exploring topics such as water quality (5th grade), soil science (4th grade), ecosystems (3rd grade), insects (2nd grade) and hibernation (Kindergarten). 58% of our students are economically disadvantaged and 17% are disabled.
