Wetlands in America School Program

Naturalist, Sheri Amsel, has developed educational nature trails for schools, camps and nature centers all over the country. Her “Nature Trail for Every School” Program is an all-inclusive program to develop an educational trail at your school.

The naturalist will evaluate the trail site, whether field, forest, wetland or just a simple hedgerow. She will identify species, develop a map, lesson plans and a guide for your trail. Teachers will receive an activity packet with 20 activities that are aligned with national science curriculum standards for K-8. Teachers can find additional activities on the exploringnature.org website and request new activities over time. Cost for trail development is $500 plus travel expenses.

Schools can add additional School Program day(s) for:

The “All About Animals and Plants” slideshow, a the natural history (animals and plants) presentation showing animals and plants you would find on your trail and animal signs to look for
Drawing sessions with classes, where students learn to draw species on their trail to be included in the trail guide or used for a trail sign.
An optional book signing with Sheri Amsel’s books offered at educational prices, including, A Wetland Walk and other books.
