Description
Expedition field trips led by Audubon education staff/volunteers and Texas Master Naturalist educators, designed to strengthen critical thinking skills across multiple disciplines and incorporate hands-on, inquiry-based learning strategies linked with state-mandated Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills objectives for grades 1-6. Students fortify their scientific observation and identification skills and gain knowledge to become a steward of our natural resources. Students will explore the three main ecosystems of the Trinity River Audubon Center: the Bottomland Hardwood Forest, the Blackland Prairie, and the Trinity River. Each field trip includes a nature hike, animal encounter, and water quality experiment!

Students Will
  • Learn about water quality by studying macro-invertebrates
  • Explore the habitats and trails of our Audubon Center.
  • Experience a live animal encounter to learn about adaptations of native species
