We bring nature into the classroom
- or take the class out into nature. Whether it's class camps, interdisciplinary project weeks on the school's own grounds, or one-day nature experiences: Our programs bring the class outdoors and combine practical nature conservation with action-oriented learning. Students experience nature up close and get involved.
