GROUP PROGRAMS
Daggerwing Nature Center offers educational programs for school groups, senior adults groups, and private groups. For all programs, Naturalists use live animals, models, interesting facts, and other fun materials to teach programs about Florida’s natives and conservation!

  Group Programs
Outreach programs (we come to your facility) last 45 minutes and include a program presentation. Field trips (you come to our facility) last 1½ hours and include a program presentation and a boardwalk tour. For field trips, we can only accommodate a maximum of 60 participants per field trip. We can offer multiple field trip days for those that exceed the maximum capacity.

Our programs are flexible to meet the needs of your group, so if you are looking for something specific to be included in a program, please ask. The following are the program topics we offer: 

  • Amphibians
