Outreach Programs

We offer in-person & virtual presentations that align with NGSS, State Curriculum, and Environmental Literacy standards. Our instructors introduce natural science topics using live animals, engaging demonstrations, and biofacts. Echoes of Nature brings an academic field trip to your classroom, encouraging active student participation. 

At this time, we cannot present in-person programs in DC. We can do a virtual program or recording. Please inquire about options.
