“I wasn’t really sure what we were going to be doing at the Preserve before our trip. However, everything that we did was wonderful. It was a wonderful experience. The children really enjoyed your beautiful setting. It reinforced what we had done and discussed in class in a real world application and hands on setting.”
“The children thoroughly enjoyed it and I feel it was a very valuable learning experience for each of them. It is a great opportunity for our students. The staff were so very kind and prepared for the day. Thank you for providing this experience. We will plan to come again next year.”
“We were very impressed with the material and the way it was presented. We feel that it was very meaningful for the children and that they will remember this information. Everything was very positive and well-organized.”
