Field trips

The Nature Institute's education staff develop lively, nature-themed curricula with Illinois and Missouri Learning Standards in mind.

We welcome students from public, private and home schools; Scout, church and university groups; and hobbyists and naturalists of all ages!

We also hold workshops for teachers that provide Continuing Professional Development Units.

If you're interested in a field trip or other educational program, please view our program offerings.

Any questions or to schedule an outing, please call our Education Office at (618) 467-2521.
