VIRTUAL DISCOVERY STATION VIDEOS
Our Volunteer Naturalists have created an engaging series of videos based on their much-loved presentations at ECO Kids Discovery Days (ECO stands for Every Child Outside) events. Learn how to find signs of beaver activity, what it’s like to be a beekeeper, how to garden for butterflies, birding with binoculars, and much more. We designed this resource to enhance your visit to Bernheim and included recommended locations along with each video, so we encourage you to don’t just watch the videos at home — let them be your on-site guide at Bernheim!
MINECRAFT

TEACHER TRAINING FOR OUTDOOR LEARNING
These times call for teachers to learn new superpowers, like teaching outside and better incorporating nature into an already-demanding curriculum. Our team provides recommendations and resources based on your specific needs, including suggestions for content from our own online resources, suggested design concepts for outdoor learning spaces, or an on-site consultation at Bernheim. Contact Kristin Faurest to learn more.
