The parks are excellent places for students to examine the environmental choices facing South Florida. Everglades National Park offers what we feel are outstanding, curriculum-based learning experiences. We encourage your participation. Your support and that of your students, tomorrow's voters, are needed if we are to preserve and protect South Florida's parks for future generations. Workshops are located at the program sites.
Students prepare for their field trip in the classroom.
Teachers and rangers actively co-lead students during their park visit. Mission The National Park Service seeks to instill in all program participants an appreciation for the fragile south Florida ecosystem, and to encourage concern for the ecosystem's problems. As today's students become tomorrow's resource users and voters, it is hoped that they will be motivated to help solve these problems. Prior to bringing a class to any of the park's programs, teachers are required to attend a workshop for the location and program their class will be participating in. These programs familiarize new teachers with program opportunities, logistics, and safety considerations.
