The Forsyth Nature Center is proud to offer environmental education programs to Kingston City Schools Consolidated students and students across the Hudson Valley. Our first year of programming was a huge success, engaging students from Sophie Finn, George Washington, Meagher, Edson, Zena and John F. Kennedy Elementary Schools, as well as Marbletown Elementary and Kingston High School. We have engaged children from pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade in a variety of programs and activities, from fishing to snowshoeing to animal husbandry.
           


We work with all grade levels to provide relevant and interesting, engaging educational programs. The second grade is an instrumental time to explore the world of animals, their behaviors and habitats. Our hands-on, interactive programs provide an exciting medium for doing just that. The fourth grade is an instrumental time to explore the history of the Hudson River and the Kingston Parks System. Kingston Point Park provides an excellent locale for these topics.
