Everglades: A Remarkable Classroom

Since 1971, we have partnered with teachers to provide curriculum-based, hands-on education experiences in the park. Use the links below to plan a field trip and bring the Everglades into your classroom. 

Here are a few other resources for connecting kids with the Everglades:
