TREEHAVEN ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS
Treehaven's environmental programs are
wonderfully creative and unique. Each program seeks to tie the environment with our
lifestyles and environmental leadership skills.
You'll be intrigued and refreshed by what we
can offer. How about water ecology, forestry
and land management, native skills, group
challenges and initiatives, living history, geology, bogs from the inside out, wolf ecology, secrets of the forest, or recreational programs
such as cross country skiing, snowshoeing,
Frisbee golf ..........the choices are endless.
Each School Program is tailor-made to meet
the particular interests and needs of the
students, while complimenting the school's
science and resource curriculum. Residential
up to 4 days and day programs are available
that can be "tailor made" for your educational
needs. We guarantee a solid learning experience through hands-on activities for students of
all ages. Setting Treehaven apart from other
"nature centers" is the ability to access our
1,400 acres of natural lands right outside the
door - no driving required!
Concepts for each program are centered
around the following:
Environmental Awareness - Interactive adventures based upon activities that provide awareness of self, group and surroundings.
Environmental Monitoring - Water Quality Assessment; Vegetative / Forest Cover Assessment; GIS, GPS, Map & Compass; Soils; Wildlife Populations / Small Mammal Live Trapping.
