Can't come to Lincoln Marsh? Let us bring a little nature to you. Invite a naturalist from the Wheaton Park District to visit your classroom for a fun, filled, hands-on lesson.
- Our programs are designed to be as hands on as possible therefore intended for individual classrooms, not large assemblies. The maximum class size is 30.
- Programs are 45 minutes to one hour in length and include a variety of hands-on activities.
