Harris Center for Conservation Education
 United States  / New Hampshire  |  Children/Education

The Harris Center for Conservation Education is dedicated to promoting understanding and respect for our natural environment through education of all ages, direct protection and exemplary stewardship of the region's natural resources and programs that encourage active participation in the great outdoors.

Since its founding in 1970, the Harris Center has been bringing environmental studies to local schools throughout the school year. If you live in the Monadnock Region, chances are that your children or your neighbors' children have participated in Harris Center programs. Classroom lessons and activities, combined with active exploration of local schoolyards and conservation land, builds a strong foundation for a continuing appreciation and respect for the natural world. Harris Center teacher/naturalists work with classroom teachers to plan age-appropriate programs for students in the elementary grades through high school. Topics range from local bird and mammal studies, interpreting mammal tracks and signs, observing the life cycle of frogs in a natural wetland (not in formaldehyde!) to Geology and Astronomy.
