Local school groups, ranging from kindergarten to high school, schedule visits with the
Ball State University graduate assistant that is working at HELC. The graduate
assistant will then meet with the school group and lead them through a variety of
activities on the property. Some of the activities include tree and wildflower
identification, aquatic insect identification, soil and water quality testing, and other
basic ecological concepts. Most of the students take away from HELC a greater
understanding of their environment and a wonderful outdoor experience that they will
remember for years to come.
