“Time in nature is not leisure time it's an essential investment in our children's health (and also, by the way, in our own).”
Richard Louv



use this lovely guide to learn more about the nature area with your class or family!



Georgetown's thirty-five acre Nature Area was established by individuals who understand that what is really interesting to young students is what they can directly touch, see and explore for themselves. The trails and original programs were designed to foster "real" learning experiences, to supplement the necessary but often excessive vicarious learning that accounts for most of the child's schooling. In addition to learning principles of science, children can learn much about how to conduct investigations, solve problems, and make decisions through studies in the out-of-doors. As well, they may develop more curiosity, a better attitude about learning, and a healthier respect for the environment.
