I am trying to develop an environmental education school program for our visiting school groups, and I'm looking for tips/suggestions/advice. We don't have an actual exhibit, although we do have a green roof, which visitors can see, and a number of other green building features that are "invisible." We have a small and kind of weird little area of native plants outside, but aside from that we are very much in the middle of the city, although we are right on the Fort Point Channel, which connects to Boston Harbor.  Our age range is K-5, heavy on K-2. The program would want to be 30-60 minutes. Many of our school kids are coming from within the city, and don't often spend time outdoors.

Anyone out there do anything similar? Any ideas would be appreciated, and feel free to respond off list.

many thanks, and a very happy 2008 to all!
