Aligned Environmental Education lessons are important to the National Wildlife Refuge System, especially Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge. The Refuge Ranger, a former Florida teacher, offers both on-site and off-site educational programs with superb visual aids for school groups and homeschoolers.
The two most popular on-site programs are Wading Birds Eat Mud Critters, and Florida's Ancient Indians of Shell Mound. Off-site programs can be tailored to your needs.
