Explore the natural world with your students at the Nature Center and other locations in the National Forest with our SEEd-aligned programs!

Looking for an affordable, engaging, and all-local approach to science for your students?

Stokes programs for grades K-6 are aligned to SEEd standards as well as ELA, Mathematics, Social Studies, and PE standards. Also, all 4th grade classes can receive one free program per school year!

Our programs focus on our local environment and give students the opportunity to acquire new skills and knowledge that will help them continue their learning. We recognize research continues to show that time spent in nature contributes to positive physical and mental health outcomes. Our nature-based, student-centered programs provide students opportunities to develop Social Emotional Learning (SEL) skills in all five CASEL core competencies. 

We work hand-in-hand with your school to develop the programming you need and provide experiences only possible through Cache Valley’s oldest and most trusted Nature Center.

This project was made possible by a grant from the National Park Trust and USDA Forest Service.

5th Grade Classroom Curriculum on the Great Salt Lake:

Great Salt Lake Collaborative and Stokes Nature Center have created a collection of resources on the Great Salt Lake to aid Utah classroom teachers in teaching 5th grade students about the Great Salt Lake who may not be able to travel to the lake itself.

Resources include curriculum guides, presentations to use in class, activities, worksheets, readings, and more - all created to address UT SEEd and other core standards.

Available as a Curated Collection on UEN’s eMedia website. Approved and vetted by USBE! Click below to access:
