Offsite Outreach and Community Programs
We can bring the Lehigh Gap to YOU!
Lehigh Gap Nature Center’s programs are developed in partnership with the community groups we serve. We are happy to tailor our programming to meet the needs of each partner. Our programs are Pennsylvania standards-aligned and led by professional environmental educators.
All of our outreach programs are priced individually depending on length, type of program, distance from LGNC, and more. Interested in scheduling a program with us? Email Education and Outreach Coordinator, Riley Davenport, at riley.davenport@lgnc.org for more information!
