Annie's Big Nature Lesson
Annie's BIG Nature Lesson is an environmental education program that brings children, parents, and teachers into the natural world for learning. This five consecutive day study trip is conducted at community nature centers and invites participants to immerse themselves in exploration of different habitats, learn with experts on site, observe and write for an hour each day, and make a positive difference through stewardship projects.
Check back for details on programming in the 2020 school year, which will be different than previous years due to COVID-19. Questions? Please contact Lorri Walch at (269) 381-1574 ex29 or lwalch@naturecenter.org.
