EDUCATION

Today the majority of children grow up in heavily developed urban areas without any direct experience of the natural world. Our young people are the community leaders of tomorrow, and without direct experiences with nature, they will be unprepared to take an active role in the caring for it. Audubon strives to connect children and families with nature with the help of trained scientists, naturalists, and guides. Our goal is to provide hands-on nature education to one in every ten children in Dallas County, nurturing an intelligent understanding of the natural world.
