For Teachers

Class is in session, in the Outdoors! Trade loudspeaker announcements and hallways for the rustle of leaves in the breeze and dragonfly overhead. Your National Parks are great outdoor classrooms!

Building learning from life experiences has been the idea behind education programs at Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens. Students use park resources to understand basic concepts to succeed in school.

Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens is a site of the Bridging the Watershed Program for high school students. Click here for more information.

 

In one place one can see how the Nacotchtank used the land, how wetlands were destroyed for commercial development, and built as we recognize their value in a watershed. There are river, marsh, swamp, and pond habitats for service learning projects.
