Nature

Our health is directly tied to the health of our environment. Clean air and water are not only essential for our every day survival, but also that of our natural world. Whether it’s teaching youngsters to be good stewards of our environment or passing on lessons of going green, families are some of the strongest allies of the environment. GreenUP offers programs and services to help you get closer to nature. We’re your resource for information and we’ll put the tools in your hands that will help you leap forward on the path to sustainability.

GreenUP provides dynamic nature-based programs for schools, families, and adults. Our experienced staff provide exciting hands-on exploration and activities so that participants explore and learn in a diversity of habitats including the Meade Creek wetland, tree nursery, meadow, forest and demonstration gardens. Curriculum-linked programs focus on a variety of environmental education themes such as soils and compost, animals and habitats, plants and trees, food gardens, insects, and many more!
