ECO-EDUCATION PROGRAMS

A group of elementary school students look on as TRC’s education director leads an activity. TRC provides unique single-day or multi-day eco-education programs to serve students, teachers and professors, interns, volunteers, researchers, resident guests, local or touring day visitors and special interest adult groups. The number of national and international school groups that TRC serves steadily increases each year.

Education programs are designed to address the needs, interests and abilities of those who visit the center. Elementary and high school groups are guided through learning experiences tailored to their respective education levels. Students of higher education may be involved in deeper investigations and research on the property, either under their own self-direction or the guidance of TRC naturalists. Additionally, adults who are informal learners are given the opportunity to explore as extensively as they wish.

Students can take part in programs ranging from a half-day to 3 days, with the most popular being single-day, 3-day programs.

Programs offered usually include a combination of TRC eco-education and ecotourism activities, as well as optional ecotourism activities provided outside of TRC (please see ECO-EDUCATION PROGRAMS, OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES). TRC education staff works individually with each visiting group to tailor the best possible experience.

To view examples of past eco-education program itineraries and a list of TRC eco-education offerings, please explore the 3 DAY.
