Ecology
Learn about the science of ecology hands-on by exploring the 185 acres of Schlitz Audubon. Students delve into ecological concepts through a guided hike. Naturalists help students foster an understanding of photosynthesis, biodiversity, and predator-prey relationships by observing and identifying wildlife, plants, and evidence of animal behavior. Students also meet a live animal ambassador and learn about how it fits in and adapts to the ecology of its native habitat. Students leave with an appreciation for the interconnectedness of nature.
