Field Trip:

Go exploring and discover terrestrial (ex. birds, insects, and more) and aquatic animals (ex. frogs, fish, dragonflies and more), have fun on a scavenger hunt searching for living things and the non-living parts of an ecosystem.

What's a Habitat? is a part of a two-part program series with 1x in-class program and 1x field trip program. You may choose to book only the in-class or field trip program, but we recommend booking both for deeper engagement.

This field trip is available at all of our Metro South Sanctuaries which include the Blue Hills Trailside Museum, the Museum of American Bird Art, Moose Hill Wildlife Sanctuary, and Stony Brook Wildlife Sanctuary.

In Class:

Discover the amazing habitats, wildlife, and food webs that make up ecosystems in your neighborhood.

To reinforce learning, you may book our specialty program option to have students make beautiful habitat-inspired art (ex. monotype prints and stamps) and/or to meet a live animal. Please see Special Pricing Details for differences in standard vs. specialty programs.
