We host lectures and workshops for the community, schools, and culture groups. Ever had a close-up look at a salamander? Or tracked the sonar of a bat? Guests such as these are often seen at our lectures. Some other topics we cover include backyard composting and how to make healthy snacks. At our Repair Cafés, people learn how to repair small appliances.

We offer group learning experiences for businesses.

Our team building events are a great way for businesses to personally contribute to the well-being of the community. By planting some trees or learning about a local species, they’ll get a unique team building experience.
