Oak Hammock Marsh Interpretive Centre’s suggested teaching tools

Oak Hammock Marsh Interpretive Centre’s education programs support curriculum in a variety of subject areas; whether you plan a visit to the marsh or have our knowledgeable staff deliver programs in your community.

In addition to these interactive programs, we also suggest these resources to supplement your wetland and environmental education lessons.
