School Program

Audubon Community Nature Center offers a comprehensive program of environmental education primarily serving schools in southwestern New York and northwestern Pennsylvania. All lessons are designed to be age-appropriate and to help students achieve State Learning Standards. As schools adopt new standards and curricula, we work with teachers to adjust lessons as needed.

Please call Sarah Hatfield for more information at (716) 569-2345 or email shatfield@auduboncnc.org .

Discovery Walks at Audubon

When you bring your class to Audubon, Discovery Walk leaders provide a guided walk for about 1.5 hours. You may also schedule additional time for lunch and self-guided activities.

Some schools have contracts with Audubon and fees are covered under those contracts. Other schools and youth groups can schedule Discovery Walks at $7 per child with a $70 minimum.
