About

Cora Hartshorn Arboretum Environmental Education Programs include environmental education activities such as FrogWatch citizen science projects and Salamander citizen science projects. The programs also include a volunteer program with a range of activities for different ages and abilities.

• Ages: 0–18 years old

The programs follow a mission to promote an understanding of the relationship between people and the environment through programs that integrate arts, sciences, and the humanities. They take place within a historic woodlands garden and educational institution that includes a 16-acre forest demonstration project focused on restoring and sustaining a healthy, diverse woodland habitat where native trees, other plants, and animals can flourish. The environmental education programs are designed to provide children of all ages, including adults, with chances to connect with the region’s natural areas and to gain knowledge, attitudes, and skills related to stewardship of the environment. The Arboretum offers citizen science opportunities that involve collecting data to help scientists gauge and plan for future conservation needs. It also provides services to local schools, community institutions, and citizens of all ages and is a member of other organizations, as indicated by its stated credentials.
