Public Programs

My public nature programs are generally available through municipal recreation departments, or hosted by partner organizations. I also offer several homeschool nature classes independently.

All Rec programs are open to non-residents no matter where they are hosted, but there is generally a non-resident fee added (usually $5-10).
