Educational Activities

The activities are designed for primary and secondary school students, and are offered in the school or in the park as part of an educational guided tour.

Our aim is to pass on our knowledge of animal welfare, vegetation, conservation and biodiversity throughinteractive experiments. But also to awaken in young people a certain curiosity and critical sense, which will enable them to better understand the world around them and become true ambassadors for nature conservation.

Service available in spring 2025

The Monarch Butterfly

The monarch butterfly is now considered an endangered species, mainly due to habitat loss, the decline of host plants such as milkweed, and unfavorable climatic conditions. That’s why it’s essential to raise awareness and educate younger generations about its situation. Our monarch workshop covers a range of scientific concepts, including insect pollinators, plants, life stages, migration, reproduction, feeding, threats to the species, and preservation initiatives. Students will receive an educational booklet and milkweed seeds to plant in their gardens, to help protect and grow this plant essential to the monarch’s survival.

Nature Exploration Classes

The park offers Nature Exploration classes that combine theoretical and practical learning. This unique program offers students the opportunity to observe animal behavior in their natural environment, accompanied by a naturalist guide. During the visit, students will have the opportunity to distinguish different North American species and learn more about their diet, reproduction and conservation status, as well as the flora that surrounds them. This immersive experience enriches their understanding of the natural world in a concrete and interactive way.
