Education

At BRIT, we have the special privilege of helping children and adults discover the wonder of our natural heritage.  No matter your age or level of interest, BRIT has a program designed just for you!

“In the science education program at BRIT, we seek to provide opportunities for children and adults to discover nature in such a way that, from that point on, their perception of their connection with the environment will be forever changed.”

The Nature of Learning

At its core, BRIT’s mission is to conserve our natural heritage by helping individuals understand the value of plants in their lives and the interconnectedness of all life on earth.  BRIT Education recognizes the importance of fostering in children a sense of wonder about the natural world.  We are committed to empowering their teachers with the skills, processes and content to take their students outdoors for meaningful exploratory learning experiences. In this age of technology, the power of an inquiry approach to learning cultivates transformative experiences in children and adults – it fosters a change in perspective, altering learners core assumptions about the nature of things.
