Guided Tours and Field Trips
The Heard is a natural choice for enriching science education programs with field trips, field study or guided tours of our nature trails.

Seasonal weather conditions permitting, you may also bring your group for a picnic on the day of their field trip. We offer guided nature trails in our wildlife sanctuary as well as indoor museum exhibits and activities. Your students may be exposed to woodlands, prairie and wetland habitats. Birding opportunities are available year-round.
Discounted admission is available for groups of 10 or more participants making payment at least two weeks in advance.
