Education Rolling Out New Classes
A new educational experience is coming to Flanders this spring. We’ve developed a new collection of field trip experiences for grades K–5 to complement the Next Generation Science Standards. Our carefully aligned programming seizes upon our abundant phenomena and unique natural resources, as we begin to partner with regional school systems.

Volunteer of the Year: Dave Terry
Many of our volunteers, including ambassadors, start off by attending one of our many popular programs or events. That’s how it started for Dave Terry, Flanders 2018 Volunteer Of The Year. Read how Dave builds both physical and friendship bridges at Flanders, and what a difference he has made.
