Whether ponding in vernal pools, exploring forest habitats, or engaging in a community science project, Mass Audubon field trips and field science experiences provide students of all ages the opportunity to connect with the natural world and practice vital science skills.
Most field trip programs can be paired with an introductory classroom experience at your school, either virtually or in-person, to activate student learning prior to their visit. If transportation is a barrier, programs can be led as field experiences in your own schoolyard or a nearby outdoor space.
Every Mass Audubon wildlife sanctuary offers rich opportunities to explore natural ecosystems, encounter native wildlife, and engage in hands-on science, but each one provides unique experiences for learning based on the habitat, ecology, and facilities of the site.
