How does a healthy habitat help living things thrive?
Enchant your curious little ones as you go hillside to bayside. Your students investigate, then draw and share observations as they get an up-close look at woodland or lagoon habitats near Fort Point and Crissy Field. From banana slugs to great blue herons, park wildlife offers us living lessons about nature.
