We are delighted that you are taking the opportunity to use the Refuge's resources to enhance your classroom learning experience. This Field Trip Guide facilitates the process of discovery and learning. If this guide fulfills its purpose, your outdoor experience will result in smiling faces, dirty hands, happy memories and a new and better understanding of the Refuge habitats and its inhabitants. The activities presented in this Field Trip Guide are designed to give you a few ideas on ways to explore general environmental concepts in fun and interactive ways. This is a sample of the more extensive Educator's Guide that is available through attendance at the Quivira National Wildlife Refuge Teacher Workshop.
Workshops invite educators out into the field to see and experience the Refuge.
Attendees will participate in a guided bus tour of the Refuge and actually perform several of the hands on activities. They will then be instructed on how to use the Guide and receive a personal copy of the 185 page Guide full of information on the Refuge and Refuge-specific activities. Call the Refuge to make reservations for the next scheduled Workshop. The Refuge Headquarters and Visitors Center are located on the south end of the Refuge, one mile north of 70th Street. The Birdhouse Boulevard Trail begins and returns to the west end of the Visitors Center parking lot.
