The Huyck Preserve Education Philosophy
The movement to connect children with nature is being championed across the country. A key part of the mission of the Huyck Preserve and Biological Research Station is to promote the understanding and conservation of nature though innovative field-based research education programs. Programs based in both field and research experiences are often profoundly meaningful in furthering an individual’s sense of environmental stewardship and scientific literacy.
Field-based Science Education
Programs at the Huyck Preserve are offered to students from kindergarten through undergraduate level. Influenced by our long-standing history as a biological research station starting in 1938, our school field trip and summer education programs offer hands-on experience in many areas of ecology and environmental science.
