Though many of our school partners are unable to travel for fall field trips to Voyageurs National Park this year, Voyageurs Conservancy and the National Park Service would like to bring Voyageurs to your classroom or home. Committed to connecting the next generation of explorers and stewards to the park, the following outlines educational resources like travel trunks, videos, downloadable materials and more.
If you have questions, would like more information, need help in obtaining or using learning materials, or just want to let us know what you think of our educational materials, please contact Voyageurs Conservancy’s Education and Outreach Coordinator Jackie La New jlanew@voyageurs.org
