Signs of the Seasons Standalone Field Trip

Students will explore nature’s seasonal changes and adaptations through hands-on discovery during a guided hike. Using their senses and simple tools, students will observe plants, animals, and weather patterns while searching for signs of the current season. As students explore the sanctuary, they learn how living things change and adapt throughout the year, building observation skills along the way.
