Free Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge Field Trips
Enjoy a fun-filled day of learning about nature, at the refuge or in your classroom.
Our knowledgeable volunteers—with over 100 years of combined teaching experience— will take your students on a hike through prairie, pond, forest and riparian ecosystems. Along the way, we’ll compare the habitats we encounter and help students identify bird songs, animal tracks, native plants, and other interesting discoveries.
Next, we'll visit Hagerman’s ΒΌ acre pollinator garden and teach the students how to use insect binoculars. We’ll set them loose to explore, giving them a chance to get a close-up look at live butterflies, bugs, spider egg sacs, chrysalises, and whatever else they can find! We’ll wrap up by connecting their observations to TEKS concepts such as life cycles and the functions of organisms.
