GVA’s School Programs serves public and private schools, home school groups and kindergartens. Programs are designed to supplement school curricula by providing direct learning experiences, and to assist schools and districts in meeting the Pennsylvania Department of Education's Environment and Ecology Academic Standards.

We provide opportunities for students to interact with the natural environment on a variety of themes including pond ecology, water systems, tree and plant studies, land resources, forest health and birds. Through hands-on activities using observation skills and a variety of scientific tools, students explore the components of the natural and built environment. Our School Programs serve public and private schools, scouts, home school groups and kindergartens. We offer Classroom (off-site) and Natural Site (at GVA's headquarters at Welkinweir) environmental education programs for students in grades K-7 during the school year.

conjunction with Earth Day celebrations and community service activities, and participants have found
that planting and nurturing their own trees is a highly rewarding and educational experience.

Orders must be placed in increments of 25 seedlings, by contacting Dawn White at 610-469-8646. The deadline for orders is Friday, March 28, 2008.
