Mighty Acorns

An Environmental Educator will make an introductory visit to your school, and then we’ll set out to a nearby Forest Preserve for three visits that include environmental education, restoration and free exploration.

The program includes seasonal stewardship activities such as seed collecting, brush cutting and planting. Students use equipment such as field guides, binoculars, and hand lenses to observe nature and identify native and invasive species.

Learn more about the program at the Mighty Acorns website.
