Adventures at the Refuge

Bring your group to explore Woodford Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge. Programs are suitable for all age groups, and can be adapted to meet your group’s needs. Our educator-naturalists will help you get the most from the experience. Stay to enjoy lunch in our picnic pavilion!

Preschool and kindergarten groups may couple Owl Stories, Winged Wonders, or one of our Seasonal Selections from Refuge on Wheels with a tour of our Wildlife Housing Area for a 75 minute program.

Topics:

Where are They?
This program will expose students to the wide variety of adaptations and camouflaging techniques that animals in the Pinelands employ for survival.

 

 

Healthy Habitats
Students will become more connected to the human impact on the environment with this program that discusses Leave No Trace, toxic spills, pesticide use, and more.

 

 

Who’s Eating What?
Carnivores, omnivores and herbivores abound in this program that focuses on food chains and food webs within the Pinelands. Students will learn how a problem with one link in the chain can cause a ripple effect throughout.

 

 

Reptiles and Amphibians
In this program we’ll focus on the scaly and slimy creatures that hide amongst our feet. Students will get an up close and personal look at some of our more hidden friends.

 

Exploring Microhabitats
Students will focus on a world of wonder packed into the tiny spaces that surround them. We’ll look under logs, and in cracks and crevices to see a world teeming with life.

Survival
Could you survive in the wild? Are your needs the same as other animals? Take a hike, learn how to construct a fire, build a debris hut, and discover other skills needed to survive in the forest.
