EduCrates - We have done all the work to make it easy to bring nature into your student’s learning! EduCrates are interactive loan boxes designed to enhance the environmental awareness of your students. Each box includes background information, activities and hands-on materials for specific ecological and natural history concepts. Boxes are available for check-out for two week intervals. Use an EduCrate as a teacher resource or set it up as a learning center in your classroom. In memory of Grace Palmer.

ACORN – ACORN is an environmental education series developed by Briar Bush's certified educators for K-6th grade students. Teachers can choose from over 30 lessons (including 5 brand new lessons in 2008!) that utilize activities, games, artifacts and live animals to compliment and enhance topics being covered in the classroom. Schools contract for multiple visits throughout the year so teachers can choose the best times to reward their students with a visit from Briar Bush!
