3rd-5th Grade Field Trips
Monk Botanical Gardens field trips are designed to be hands-on, inquiry and experience based programs. Gardens field
trips will get your students interacting with nature in ways that keep them engaged and learning. All field trips are
matched to Wisconsin science, environmental literacy & sustainability, natural resources, and model early learning
standards as they apply.
Tracks, Scat, and Pellets; Year Round
Solve a critter mystery, and learn how to detect and decipher the signs left by wildlife. Hone your detective skills through
exploring tracks, scat, and owl pellets. End your detective training with a hike to test your skills.
Wild Invaders; Sept-Oct and April-June
How do you know that dandelions are weeds? Where did they come from and what makes it a weed? Consider the impacts
humans can have on the environment and learn how these invaders have been able to stick around. End the trip with a
hands-on opportunity to eradicate some invaders. We are more than happy to accommodate other ideas as well. Please reach out!
