Discover the Forest Activity

Agricenter International is the foremost educational venue for formal and informal learning about agriculture, forestry, and natural resources. In a time when many children think their food and clothes come from the store, it is important to educate them about the natural environment. Agricenter’s educators offer enrichment classes that focus on science, technology and the environment. The programs are STEM focused and follow state curriculum standards.  For schools who need assistance, transportation scholarships are available.
