Home Ecologists is an outing series designed for
homeschool students. Each topic is offered twice per month. Each outing is open
to all ages, but the content level follows a tiered system. The first outing of
the month targets introductory-level learning, and the second outing targets
middle/higher-level learning. Parents and caregivers can choose any or all
programs that may pique the interest and learning levels of their budding
ecologists! Wise naturalists have said that May needs to be as big a deal as fall
foliage season. The symphony of greens is astounding! But what's going on in
the trees to power the show? Find out for yourself using basic observations and
hands-on science at one of the park's most impressive overlooks. Meet at
Archery Field Overlook. (1 mile or less)
