Lying along the Texas Coastal Bend and consisting of a barrier island, wetlands, grasslands and woodlands, Aransas National Wildlife Refuge Complex (ANWRC) offers one of the best outdoor classrooms available. The ANWRC Environmental Education Program is designed to take advantage of nature's classroom to help students develop an integral understanding of the environment and our role in it.
Outdoor classroom experiences give students the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors while promoting an understanding of conservation. Bring your group to ANWRC for a fun filled hands-on environmental education field experience, where students learn by interacting with the environment of the Refuges. Classes are offered at Aransas NWR and Matagorda Island NWR.
Environmental education courses are aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for Science. ANWRC offers an orientation to the Refuge, educational videos, guided tours, Youth Environmental Education Area rustic camping, environmental education classes, and outreach.
