Environmental/Outdoor Educators
Through unique, hands-on experiential education programs, Nature's Classroom immerses student groups ranging between the 4th and 8th grades in community awareness, motivational learning, and conservation of our natural resources in Charlton, Massachusetts. The Pondside location shares 600 acres of woodlands, fields, and streams with the Hilltop facility. Rich in history, this former homestead allows students the opportunity to hike along the same Bay Path trail that was once traveled by American Indians and early colonists more than three centuries ago. The modern Hilltop site uses solar panels and a 100 kilo-watt wind turbine which provides students with real-world examples of alternative energy.
