The Nature Conservancy has virtual field trips that allow students to explore nature!

The Nature Conservancy and its 550 scientists created Nature Lab to help students learn the science behind how nature works for us, and how we can help keep it running strong.

Here are some of its field trips:

CHANGING CLIMATE, CHANGING CITIES

Get a front-row, ground-level seat to the challenges cities face as they confront this force of nature, the solutions experts are promoting to mitigate it

THE SECRET LIFE OF CORALS

Learn how fragile reefs are being damaged by human activity and climate change, and how scientists are developing ways to restore corals.

BORNEO: THE SYMPHONY OF THE RAINFOREST

On this journey, we’ll learn how experts are using cutting-edge science to find out how healthy the rainforest is—and to discover where it needs some help!

VIEW FROM A CANOE

Can you imagine a place with 100 million acres of forest and 30,000 miles of coastline? It exists. The Emerald Edge is home to the largest intact coastal temperate rainforest.
