Join us for a field trip at Wild Roots Nature Center! We have a variety of engaging, hands-on, standards based programs to choose from. Please see our website for full program descriptions! This single program booking includes one 90 minute program (60 minute for PreK) lead by one of our environmental educators. You can also add an optional 30 -45 minute lunch/reccess option for your school with this style booking. Wild Roots Nature Center does not provide lunch but many schools will bring their lunches and eat in our beautiful nature playground area. Wild Roots staff will lead a mini low waste lunch presentation and help students sort their lunch materials. Please let us know in the questions ahead if you plan on using our lunch space before or after your program!
Wild Roots Nature Center at Severson Dells Forest Preserve sits on 369 acres of prairie, savanna, and forest and features a winding creek lined with ancient rock walls. The land and lodge were donated to the Forest Preserves of Winnebago County by Harry and Fannie Severson in 1975, and the Nature Center was established in 1976. Our mission is to inspire conservation of nature through education and stewardship, cultivating connections between people and place.
Your group leaders will include our staff, AmeriCorps service members, and fabulous volunteers.
