Guided School Programs

“On this trip I saw students in awe over the sound of silence and small moments that they shared with the outdoors. I feel these moments are what help kindle a respect for nature and how the environment is home to all of us, not just humankind.”

Beautiful Day Programs

“I assumed that my granddaughter would have the benefit of learning some cool, age-appropriate stuff about the flora and fauna of Five Rivers when we signed up for this wonderful program. I had no idea she would also have the enormous gift of her nature journey being led by two such kind, joyful, enthusiastic, and sweet human beings. Thank you so much from both of us (and Grandma, Mom and Dad) for the fun and learning.”
