Educational Program

Take a guided trail walk to explore North Carolina’s ecosystems and investigate plants, adaptations, and the interconnected relationships between weather, wildlife, and people.
Students will learn about ecosystems across North America and meet some native species during a walk on The Schiele’s Nature Trail. They will discover how plants and animals interact with their surroundings and how those living things adapt to survive and thrive!
