Through five visits to a forest preserve, students gain an appreciation for the environment by becoming stewards of the Earth. Students use GPS equipment and microscopes to observe, collect data and identify native and invasive species.

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