Outdoor Learning for Little Explorers

Up next for WILD at The Preserve

🦊 How Animals Adapt | Zoology | March 20th
Survival in the wild isn’t just about luck—animals use seasonal adaptations to thrive. From growing thicker fur in winter to migrating for food, nature is full of fascinating survival strategies. Join us as we uncover the incredible ways wildlife adjusts to changing conditions.

This season of WILD at The Preserve is all about cycles in nature—the patterns, rhythms, and systems that keep our environment thriving. From the life cycle of trees and flowers to the way animals adapt through the seasons, we’ll uncover the hidden connections that shape our world.

Each class will highlight a different cycle, whether it’s the water cycle nourishing plants, the food chain transferring energy, or the rock cycle shaping the land beneath us. By exploring these natural processes, young learners will gain a deeper understanding of how everything in nature is interconnected. By the end of the series, families will leave with cherished memories, practical sustainability skills, and a deeper appreciation for the ecosystems around them.
