“Don’t just observe Nature...Experience it!”
It’s Only Natural!
The goal of Evergrowing Inspirations is to provide guests with exciting hands-on learning
opportunities. Through interactive outdoor education and recreational programming, participants
will discover new things in nature while generating environmental awareness, building leadership and
team building skills, and promoting community involvement through service projects.

wildlife using wildlife field guides, tracking identification
keys, and observing animal signage along the way.

these creatures or do not find encounters with these creatures to
be pleasant. Uncover the importance of these creepy crawlers and

conservation and the preservation of water quality. Using a variety of collection techniques and field guides, collect and

quality and the affects humans have on the environment. Also, explore the water cycle and recognize the importance of
water conservation through aquatic relays and group activities.
