For-Mar Outreach
We can bring our 383 acre nature preserve and arboretum to you, and it’s called Genesee County Parks’ Outreach. Genesee County Parks’ Outreach offers in person and virtual programs for k-8 grades that focus on nature, animals and plants. All programs are designed and connected to Next Generation Science Standards, Michigan’s Grade Level Educational Standards, including the Common Core State Standards and the STEM initiatives.
Our programs utilize certified and award winning environmental education curriculums, such as Project Learning Tree and MEECs. We make learning fun and interactive with engaging multimedia presentations, hands-on activities, and live animals. Connect with us to find the perfect outreach program for your after-school program, special event, or community organization meetings.
