Field Trips - Genesee County Parks

Each year, thousands of children come to For-Mar to learn about the plant and animal life that makes up our unique ecosystem. Our expert naturalists are here to help your students discover and uncover what’s great about the outdoors.

From seeds to trees, lifecycles and beyond, there are lessons here for every age at For-Mar Nature Preserve and Arboretum. We can develop a program for any age or ability. Check out the For-Mar Program Guide below to discover the perfect field trip for your group today.

For-Mar program guide

“We had two teachers run sessions for our 39 kindergartners. Both were well prepared, knowledgeable, and engaging with our young learners. Activities were well thought out and timing allowed for transitions, exploration, and questions. Our kindergartners enjoyed all 4 sessions: worm study, animal encounter, life cycle of a log, and nature hike. As teachers, we loved being able to support the learning that was led by our For Mar instructors. Thank you for quality programming and engaging lessons!”
