Anchorage School District
The Eagle River Nature Center invites teachers to explore our many options for your school class to experience Alaska’s spectacular natural environment. You may come on a naturalist-guided fieldtrip choosing from our many School Program Topics, or come on a Self-guided fieldtrip, but you must make a reservation. Alternatively, you can ask us to bring our program to your classroom.
