The Land Lab has a number of resources available onsite, from teaching resources to a full literature library. Please feel free to stop by or make an appointment with a staff member to discuss environmental education and connection in your classroom or facility. Not only can our materials aid in science studies, but also in math, literacy, social studies, leadership skills and physical education.
The Land Lab is also now home to the K-6 Science Kit program.
