Environmental
Education Kits
The Portage Park District is committed to serving the county by
providing education opportunities. With
12 miles of trails and 435 acres of diverse woodlands and wetlands that
support an abundance of wildlife species, the park is the ideal
classroom. While we are aware of this, we understand the difficulties
involved in actually bringing students out to such a resource.
In an attempt to serve educators and students we have acquired funding
from the Portage County Environmental Awards Dinner and Ruth Meade
Memorial Fund to develop Environmental Education Resource Kits that
will be available on loan through the County District Library system.
These kits will enhance any elementary or middle school classroom
discussion, covering various topics and issues such as wetlands,
forests, farming and farmland preservation, environmental action
projects, and Native Americans. Our mini kits cover owls, bats,
butterflies, and biomes. Each kit contains various brochures, posters,
hands-on activities, audio or vidiotapes, and other such items.
We have also developed programs and hikes to go along with these
materials. Please call your library or contact Program Coordinator Dawn
Alber at the Portage Park District at 330.297.7228 for more information.
