The Teen Nature Club allows youth to explore nature and enhance environmental stewardship. Students in grades 6 through 10 are invited to participate, engaging in lessons adapted from curricula, such as Project Learning Tree, Project WILD, Project Flying WILD, Project WILD Aquatic, and Project WET. The students are also encouraged to join Alabama 4-H. Topics covered include wildlife, water quality, forestry, and more. Each session contains a hands-on activity that will enable the students to gain a deeper understanding of the natural world around them.
