New Program Guide for 2009-2010

WNS Program Guide CoverThe new Wesselman Nature Society (WNS) Program Guide is hot off the press! Please take some time to review this listing of our many new program offerings. A PDF version of the guide may be downloaded at http://wesselmannaturesociety.org/PDF/WNS-Program-Guide.pdf.

In this new guide, WNS Director of Education Lauren Preske explains our education philosophy and how vital outdoor learning is to childhood development. Program descriptions include a summary of the themed content and the academic standards addressed. Also included are the grade level, program length, the location(s) in which the program may be held (Wesselman Woods Nature Preserve, Howell Wetlands, local waterway through Canoe Evansville, or an off-site location), and the fee. Scheduling and registration instructions are provided as well.

Take a look at this new guide, and call us today to register your group for one of our many programs. Or if you know of anyone who may be interested in booking a program with us, please help us pass the word along by forwarding this message to them. Thanks, and we look forward to hearing from you!
