Homeschool in Nature: Trees

Friday, October 9, 2026 · 10:00 AM

Broad Meadow Brook Conservation Center and Wildlife Sanctuary — 414 Massasoit Rd., Worcester, MA

Broad Meadow Brook's homeschool program brings learning to life in a cooperative, curiosity-driven setting for school-aged children. In October, we'll focus on trees—covering how they grow, what role they play in our ecosystems, and what happens as the season shifts to fall. Students will build their observation skills through outdoor exploration, games, and activities designed to make big scientific ideas stick. Our instructors use the sanctuary itself as the classroom, helping young learners develop real knowledge and a sense of belonging in nature. Detailed instructions will be sent before the class date. Come prepared to be both indoors and outdoors during the session. Health forms are required for drop-off students; families are always welcome to remain on the sanctuary.
