Program times do not include time for lunch. You are welcome to bring a snack or lunch to enjoy after your field trip. If you want to include time for lunch, add an extra 30 minutes to your requested time.

Apply 20- to 50-percent DEET insect repellents, if needed. Please have students check themselves for ticks after the program and ask parents to thoroughly check their children when they get home.

Managing Your Visit

Supervision is the responsibility of the teacher and parent chaperones. One chaperone is recommended for every 10 students.

• Remember to be good listeners.
• Have fun! Be involved in discussions and enthusiastic about nature activities.
• Leave rocks, leaves, flowers, etc., where you found them.
• Pick up your trash. Trash cans and recycling are available.
• Be good role models.

Field Trips vs. Field Experiences

All MDC programs incorporate hands-on and inquiry-based learning opportunities in nature.

Our naturalist-led field trips, also referred to as school programs, will enhance your science curriculum while also promoting other interdisciplinary subjects.

Field experiences emphasize student-centered, collaborative investigations of natural phenomena and are led by certified classroom DNS teachers to better facilitate classroom connections to concepts. Field experiences are eligible for transportation funding the Missouri Department of Conservation provides through the Discover Nature Schools (DNS) program.

August A. Busch Memorial Conservation Area

The August A. Busch Memorial Conservation Area (CA) was purchased by the Missouri Department of Conservation in 1947. The area is open for recreational use by the public, and fish and wildlife resources are healthy and abundant. Visitors can walk the hiking trails, drive the auto tour, photograph the wildlife, or simply sit under a tree and enjoy the sights and sounds of the outdoors. The area also has 28 fishable lakes and ponds, totaling 550 acres. Hunting for a variety of wildlife species is allowed on the area; please check for special regulations.

Portions of the conservation area were used by the Army in the 1940s for TNT and DNT production and by the Atomic Energy Commission in the 1960s for uranium ore processing. One hundred of the old TNT storage bunkers still exist on the area.

The affected portions of the area were part of a federal environmental cleanup project. The area is now considered safe for all recreational pursuits allowed on the area as well as for wildlife found within the area.

Find out more about the conservation area, including directions, maps, and hours.

Powder Valley Conservation Nature Center

Powder Valley Conservation Nature Center (CNC) is an educational nature oasis in the middle of Kirkwood. The center is nestled within 112 acres of oak-hickory forest in a quiet corner of a busy urban world. The area has three trails, all of them paved, and one that offers interpretive signage and is accessible.

Powder Valley has something for all nature lovers both indoors and out and in all seasons. The nature center, gift shop, and innovative educational exhibits, including an aquarium and beehive, offer year-round learning.

Rockwoods reservation.

Sample the Ozarks right in the middle of the suburbs. Rockwoods Reservation is found right in busy west St. Louis County. The area boasts a rich diversity of plant and animal life as well as springs, caves, and rock formations. Cool, moist, north-facing ravines and lush creek bottoms contrast with the nearby arid, rocky ridge tops and south slopes. The terrain is reminiscent of the Ozark hills, and many plants and animals found in hill country are also found here.

Rockwoods Reservation features about 13 miles of foot trails of varying length and difficulty. The trails take hikers by caves, along Hamilton Creek, which flows during wet weather, up to scenic overlooks, and past a giant historic lime kiln.

Find out more about the nature center, including directions, maps, and hours.

Tower Grove Park

MDC partners with Tower Grove Park in the City of St. Louis to bring more nature and outdoor-based educational programming to urban residents. The iconic park, which was established in 1868, offers a natural tapestry and outdoor oasis amid the urban environment. Tower Grove Park hosts approximately 2.5 million visitors each year. It is the second largest park in the city, covering 289 acres.

Tower Grove Park is a Level II Accredited Arboretum, featuring 7,000 trees of some 300 varieties. The National Audubon Society has designated Tower Grove Park’s Gaddy Wild Bird Garden an Important Bird Area, boasting more than 200 documented species.

At the Missouri Botanical Garden, we strive to provide teachers and students with activities and field trip options that are as innovative as our grounds are beautiful! Featuring inquiry-based hands-on activities, knowledgeable instructors and fascinating plants, a field trip to the Missouri Botanical Garden is an educational experience your students will remember for a lifetime!

We welcome all school-age learners and invite you to request a guided visit led by Missouri Botanical Garden educators and volunteers or a self-guided visit, which allows you to lead your own students through the Garden. You may also request a virtual school tour where Missouri Botanical Garden instructors join your classroom online for a live experience with plants.

As availability is limited, we recommend that programs be reserved as far in advance as possible. For questions about programming or an existing program scheduled, email [email protected] or call (314) 577-5185.

Please view and share the printable Bus Parking Instructions map prior to your arrival. Parents and chaperones arriving when the parking lot is full should use the free parking at the overflow lots at the corner of Shaw Boulevard and Vandeventer.
