Bring your students on an Everglades adventure!

Grassy Waters Preserve is happy to provide FREE hands-on environmental field trips to local schools.  Our school district approved programs meet the needs of students in grades K-12, and we can facilitate specialized excursions for college level courses as well. 

The mission of our field trip program is to provide hands-on learning experiences which nurture students' natural curiosity, create a personal connection between students and their environment, and foster a sense of environmental stewardship. Each program meets state standards while providing students with a memorable outdoor experience.
