Riverbend on the Road - Animal Homes
Description
Riverbend educators will visit your school, daycare center, preserve, library or community center with our Animal Homes program. Students explore what makes a habitat a good home through storytelling and a hands-on landscape activity. Featuring the story “Welcome Home, Bear,” students learn why a forest is a good home for a bear. Using the lessons from the story, educators provide students with a variety of animal figurines and guide the class through choosing the best habitat for each from a variety of options. The lesson concludes with a visit from one of Riverbend’s guinea pigs.
Programs are $300 and $50 for each additional program the same day. There is a $30 travel fee for schools located more than 10 miles from Riverbend. We travel a maximum of 25 miles from Riverbend. If you are booking for more than one program in a day, you will have an opportunity to provide details after you make the booking. We can do up to four programs in a day.

Riverbend Environmental Education Center
Riverbend Environmental Education Center sits on a 30-acre preserve in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania. We teach environmental principles to children in Southeastern Pennsylvania through a direct connection with nature, inspiring respect for our natural world, and action as aware, responsible and caring citizens. All of our programs focus on engaging children in the practices of science, including asking questions, making observations, and collecting data.
Some of our programs take place at neighboring preserves located within a short drive of Riverbend's main campus.
Our programs typically begin at 10AM, but we are happy to be flexible to meet our schools' needs. If you would like your program to begin earlier or later, please let us know!
