Exploring Habitats Field Trips

For first and second grade students.

The “Exploring Habitats” field trip project is co-sponsored by the Marin Master Gardeners and the Marin Art and Garden Center (MAGC). Master Gardeners are trained as docents and actively participate in field trips that take place on Tuesdays in MAGC’s “Habitat Garden.”

This program is designed to augment and enrich first and second grade curriculum by exploring the needs of living creatures in four distinct habitats and by exposing children to aspects of nature and the environment they might not otherwise see. Students study the four distinct habitats that are located in the garden: Compost (vermiculture), Pond, Woodland Understory and the Bird and Butterfly Garden.  Learn more about these habitats with the following links:
