COVID-19 UPDATE: The Harris Center building will be closed to visitors until further notice. Our trails and grounds remain open.
Thinking Outside the Box
The Harris Center’s education programs for children inspire wonder, increase ecological and scientific literacy, and foster a connection to place. If you belong to a homeschool group, we’d love to work with you to design a hands-on, nature-based education program that meets the needs and interests of your students.
