Skunk will tell you all about his life in the Enchanted Forest.
New this year!
Enchanted Forest repeats for the sixth consecutive year October 7th and 8th, 2012. This evening event for families sells out every year, often weeks before the event. To give more children the chance to experience the magical animals who can talk and tell you all about their lives we will be offering the program via school fieldtrip during the week of Oct 11-14, 2012.
In addition to meeting these magical animals, children will also meet Liberty, our non-releasable Bald Eagle, and some of our live animal educators including Garter Snake, Toad, Leopard Frog, and more.
To schedule a fieldtrip during the week of October 11-14, call Audubon soon!
Fieldtrip fees: $5/child, teachers and adult chaperones do not pay, but are expected to help with supervision.
Schools participating in BOCES Co-Ser 438.010 can pay for fieldtrips through their environmental education budget. Call for more information.
What is It? Growing Up WILD is an early childhood interdisciplinary curriculum that builds on children’s sense of wonder about nature and invites them to explore wildlife and the world around them. Through a wide range of activities and experiences, Growing Up WILD provides an early foundation for developing positive impressions about the natural world and lifelong social and academic skills. Activities are designed to meet Head Start Domains and NAEYC Accreditation Criteria.
Who is it For? This early childhood curriculum is perfect for teachers and caregivers of children aged 3 to 7 years old.
