Grand Canyon National Park invites you and your students to participate in our education program. We offer six different curriculum-based programs: "Dynamic Earth", "Grand Canyon Rocks!" and "Stories in Stone" (earth science); "Rails and Tales" and "Time Travelers" (cultural history); and "Life on the Edge" (5-hour and 2.5 hour versions (ecology)). All six programs address specific national and Arizona State academic standards. Programs are free of charge and open to all schools and teachers.

There are approximately 1,737 known species of vascular plants, 167 species of fungi, 64 species of moss and 195 species of lichen found in Grand Canyon National Park. This variety is largely due to the 8,000 foot elevation change from the river up to the highest point on the North Rim.
