Curriculum Materials
 
Big Bend has a wealth of opportunities for teachers, scout and youth leaders. Whether you're planning a park visit for your students, looking for lesson plans or other resources to use in your classroom or home, or hoping to have a ranger visit, we've got it.

Think of your National Parks as off-site classrooms!  There are many ways to utilize America's treasures as teaching tools.  After all, we have "the real thing," and we love to work with you to teach students the importance of the special places we all work together to preserve and protect for the future.

Did You Know?
Mid-February through mid-April is the best time to see wildflowers in the desert, and some wildflowers bloom throughout the summer in the mountains, but you can find something blooming almost any time of the year. Every year is different, depending on rainfall levels.
