Our Educational Programs

LC Nature Park aims to provide the student with an immersive educational experience that supports what they are learning in the classroom about the environment and the native ecosystems of Indiana. The goal of LC Nature Park is that by restoring the landscape to ecosystems native to Indiana, with native plant and animal species, we can provide an opportunity for a hands-on, instructive experience about the natural wonders of Indiana. With nearly 200 acres of grassland, wetland, and a high-quality sand dune with a rich mesic forested community, as well as a dedicated and highly motivated staff, the LC Nature Park will assist the student and bring nature and people together. It is our sincere hope that the student and visitor alike leave with a deeper appreciation of life within our native landscape and a more profound understanding of its value to our lives. Our educational programs support the Indiana Academic Science Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards.

All educational programs are completely customizable for each age and group. If you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for, we’ll be happy to tailor any existing program or create something to meet your needs.
