Nature Exploration Lesson Plan
FUN FACTS
One single tree can provide the oxygen required for two human beings and over 8,000 sheets of paper. Trees can also clean the soil and air by absorbing harmful pollutants. So what have you done for a tree lately? Nature centers and state parks provide a hands-on environment to discover facts about native plants and animals, as well as ways to preserve these natural resources.

Scouts
Chesapeake Bay Foundation offers many one-day and residential opportunities for students in Virginia to get outside and experience the wonders of the bay region. Students can board a workboat and learn about the relationships between the land, rivers, and the Bay. The Virginia Canoe Program lets them traverse tidal portions of the state's rivers, and use nets and other tools to learn about saltwater and freshwater environments. Finally, two locations (Port Isobel and Fox Island) are open for overnight programs, where students may go on field investigations and explore local ecology. See website for a sample itinerary.
