You are invited to use the Kerry Wood Nature Centre facilities and resources free of charge to deliver your own educational programs. We have an extensive natural history and environmental education reference library. It, and all of our meeting rooms, field study equipment, taxidermy specimens and audio-visual equipment and productions are available to you for use in the Nature Centre.
Students conducting independent study programs are also welcome to come and use our resources.
Even though there is no charge for self-guided groups, to avoid disappointment, please call ahead to ensure that the services and facilities you wish to use will be available to you during your visit. Borrow one of the class sets of activity packs available to your students at no charge. Each child gets a backpack complete with a rain poncho, clipboard and magnifying box, as well as a complete activity package. These are only available for nature study, not for sports such as racing. Many of our programs can be presented in natural areas near your meeting place, school, in school yards, or even in school libraries and gymnasiums, for a fraction of the cost of hiring a bus.
