Norman Bird Sanctuary is determined to engage the community’s youngest naturalists with the environment and natural knowledge to foster a hands-on, child-centered exploration of our beautiful campus. Guided by skilled teacher naturalists, participants will experience holistic growth through adventurous play and structured risk-taking.
Our Field Trip programs offer engaging, year-round experiences in nature for our youngest Preschoolers through advanced High School students. We offer two field trip models for educators to utilize the Norman Bird Sanctuary to enhance their classroom learning.
Join us for educational, fun, individually-designed Private Hikes, which offer members and visitors the exciting opportunity to meander the trails with a knowledgeable NBS Naturalist by their side.
Our 300+ acre classroom provides the perfect venue for your troop’s investigation of the natural world. Our programs, including exciting overnight adventures for Scout groups, are designed to help Scouts complete badges and other goals!
