Duke Farms

Duke Farms is located in Hillsborough and has over 2,500 acres of preserved land to explore.  They recently re-opened to the public and it's definitely worth a visit.  They offer weekend classes/workshops, hiking, biking (free bike share!), geocaching, and more. 

They also offer self-guided educational tours for schools, or homeschoolers!  A group of us took advantage of their resources and visited this week.  We followed their "What Habitat Is That?" lesson plan and explored for hours. 

If you go to the Programs section of their website, you can download many different lesson plans and you can even reserve (with a deposit) their Eco-Kits which include journals, binoculars, clipboards, compasses, and more.
