Are you looking for a unique outdoor adventure for your group? Book a guided field experience to some of New Jersey’s wild ecosystems. Field experiences are perfect for scout groups, school field trips, college trips, and even professional development team building.
Join us in the heart of the New Jersey Pinelands. Also known as the Pine Barrens, this ecosystem is far from barren. It is home to many endangered species, carnivorous plants, wild orchids, fish, frogs, snakes, and birds. Many of these animals cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Participants will hike through the pine forest, examine streams, and identify rare plants and animals. Topics include: forestry, ecology, and water quality. Near Chatsworth, NJ
With a little sun and a little science, we’ll lead your group along a sandy beach, looking for signs of life. Participants will love this immersive experience. Animals commonly sighted during the Beach Field Experience include osprey, horseshoe crabs, puffer fish, and seahorses. Participants will try their hand at bird watching, plant identification, and the collection of aquatic species using specialized nets. Located just outside of Ocean City, NJ. Dress in swim gear and bring a towel. Topics include: oceanography, invertebrate zoology, and ecology.
