Shenandoah National Park
1st Grade - Shenandoah Residents
 

Shenandoah Residents introduces first graders to the physical characteristics and life needs of plants and animals in the park. Students construct a journal and record their observations of plant parts and evidence of animals. Students also role-play different animals to gain an understanding of how they meet their life needs in the meadow. Groups can request a “Raptor Rap” live birds of prey presentation with this program.

Did You Know?
The first visitors to Shenandoah National Park during the 1930s and early 40s rarely saw deer. They were gradually restocked from four other states.
