Learning from life experience is a basic concept of education programs at Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens where students use park resources to inform basic concepts students must learn to succeed. The sites present opportunities for learning from preschoolers to adulthood.
The park includes a variety of wetland habitats including some of the original marsh of Washington, DC, the Anacostia River, Watts Branch and meadows built in the 1990s by the National Park Service. Rangers will work with teachers and students to develop education programs, and service learning projects for individuals and groups. Graduate students are welcome to discuss proposals for study with the education ranger or park resource management division.
