Nature Programs

Agloe Nature Center has three cache boxes on its grounds. Can you find them all? All you need is a GPS (or a smartphone with the free Geocaching app) and a sense of adventure! (Don’t have one? Members can borrow ours at the reception desk.)

Nature is important to healthy development in children in every major area of growth: intellectual, social, spiritual, and physical. Play and learning in nature is especially important for developing capacities for creativity, problem-solving, and intellectual development. Integrating environmental education linked to subject matter in the classroom to exploration of the natural environment can serve as an important stimulus to increase physical activity.
