School groups can come to our coastal FBES campus, or our naturalists can meet classes at another location, such as a nature preserve or state park near your school. Our staff is very flexible, and we aim to tailor your field trip to cover your curriculum needs. On a Ferry Beach Ecology School Field Trip you can:

• Explore amazing ecosystems — beaches, sand dunes, salt marshes, ponds and coastal forests, most within walking distance!
• Spend time outside of school — classmates will be learning together in an exciting natural environment.
• Learn important science concepts through hands-on, active lessons taught by professional educators.
• All lessons aligned to State Learning Results — help students meet curricular goals through experiential, entertaining and unique learning opportunities! Please refer to our State Learning Standards Frameworks which you can download in Word format here: Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
