Education Department
Our
Mission
The mission of the Living Laboratory program is to have each and every student personally
and actively engaged in thought provoking conservation minded lessons which also
are aligned to the Sunshine State standards. Our learners develop an awareness of
the land, our resources and our unique biodiversity. Although we cover the state
mandated benchmarks we do so with hands-on interactive activities that promote field
investigation and personal conscious ethical thoughts and discussions. We are developing
environmentally conscious learners!
