Friday WREN Wallowa Resources Exploration of Nature
Friday WREN is fun and educational. During the school year, we offer up to 16 classes to 5-8th graders. Classes explore natural and cultural history. Students investigate Wallowa County through hands-on and self-discovery activities. Each day centers on a theme that guides the day lesson and exploration. Classes teach skills in exploring, discussing, analyzing, and evaluating our environment. We also provide kids with guided hands-on field research and community service projects. Whenever possible, local nature resource professionals and landowners join us, exposing students to future career opportunities, local knowledge, as well as real-life research.
Program goals are:
- To increase understanding of local cultural and biological diversity and its systems
- To expose youth to the local culture and biological diversity within Wallowa County
- To increase their appreciation of local culture and biological diversity
- To increase their awareness and understanding of human and ecological linkages
In past, we have offered classes in wildlife biology, forestry, early homestead history, geocaching, and much more. Contact us to learn more.
