2025 Partner Scientist Visits

Carver’s Outdoor Education program is strengthened by meaningful partnerships with scientists who share their expertise, curiosity, and passion for the natural world with our students. Throughout the year, researchers from Georgia Southern University, Georgia DNR Wildlife Resources Division, UGA Marine Extension and Sea Grant, the Xerces Society, Coastal Wildscapes, and community conservation groups spend full days with our fourth and fifth graders in the field. Together they guide students through authentic investigations, mentor young scientists, and support our stewardship projects across the Ogeechee River Basin. These collaborations bring real scientific practice to life and give every child the chance to learn directly from professionals who study and care for the ecosystems we call home.
