About this organization
Mission

About
Education: In 2018, Flanders Nature Center & Land Trust continued to enhance its year-round science based curriculum classes and educational workshops, including its popular summer programs for children. Over 400 children participated in weekday, weekend and school vacation programs, while over 7,000 school age students were visited either in their schools or out on field trips to the Van Vleck Farm & Nature Sanctuary. On site, they learned about important New England traditions, such as raising farm animals and making maple syrup as well as discovering the wonders of the natural world through interpretive visits to Flanders ponds, woods, meadows, farm and Studio. On other fronts, Flanders continued to offer a wonderful variety of adult/family offerings, around the themes of art, farming and nature.
