Nature Study
​An Introduction to Nature for Elementary School Students

An Introduction to Nature

The Nature Study program at the Huyck Preserve introduces elementary school children to nature through a week-long, half-day program. Students learn about nature through exploration of our forest trails and streams.  What animals and plants live in our forests, pond, and streams?  The kids will find out!  We use science-themed games and crafts to reinforce the basic concepts of ecology and environmental science we've discussed out in the woods. 

Have your children attended Nature Study in the past?  We hope they will return this year, as we offer new lessons and activities each year while bringing back popular favorites!
COVID-19 Protocols
In 2021, Nature Study will be held entirely outdoors with a large tent, porta potty, and handwashing station available to students. Please see the online or downloadable registration form for additional protocols in place this year.
