Riverbend on the Road - Where Should Turtle Be?
Description
Riverbend educators will visit your school, daycare center, preserve, library or community center with our Where Should Turtle Be? program. Turtles live all over the world. This lesson teaches students how different types of turtles are uniquely suited to living in different habitats. Learn about the characteristics of turtles, their habitats and adaptations. This program includes hands-on exploration of nature artifacts and the opportunity to meet one of Riverbend’s Eastern Box turtles. 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!
