Knowledge is Power
|
One of our goals at Franklin Creek Conservation Association is building knowledge and appreciation of the natural world around us. One way to do that is to get kids and their parents out to enjoy the area. During the summer of 2018 we hosted three educational events that centered around the habitats in the Franklin Creek State Natural Area. For the last habitat program of the year we will be focusing on water quality by using macroinertebrates. Macroinvertebrates are small organisms that have no spine and are large enough to be seen with the naked eye. To register for this program please follow the link below.

Private programs have a minimum of $150. There is an additional fee of $10/person over 20 people w/food included in the program. Or $5 if you provide your own meal. Maximum 30 students. |

For younger kids and families the Franklin Creek Education Committee is unveiling a number of self-guided activities that will encourage exploration in the State Natural Area and teach kids about the natural world around them. Instructions for these activities will be available to pick up inside of the Grist Mill during operating hours and available for printing on the Franklin Creek Conservation association website. As these activities are completed, Junior Naturalist Certificates will be awarded.
If you would like to help create and deliver programs with the Education Committee please follow the link and fill out the application. |
