Support Science Education
Oxbow Meadow's Title I Science Enrichment Program focuses on providing in-school programming to nearby elementary schools near and deferring the cost of attending field trips at our center. Our in-school programming targets weekly engagements for Kindergarten grades to give them a first experience with science. We also have 10-15 week sessions that we complete with Fifth grade classes that focus on providing hands-on and engaging activities that support the content covered on the annual accountability assessment (GMAS). This culminates in a review session that connects the hands-on activities to questions provided in similar format to the test.
Ethan Parmer Memorial Fund
Ethan Parmer was a longtime friend and volunteer of Oxbow Meadows Environmental Learning Center who loved reptiles! To honor Ethan’s memory, and his love of animals, the Ethan Parmer Memorial Fund is ongoing for new projects and the continued maintenance of established exhibits at Oxbow Meadows.
Adopt a Critter
Your adoption will support the health, feeding, and welfare of your animal. The following animals are available for “adoption”, additional animals can be adopted upon request.
Please note, this is a symbolic adoption. Your adopted animal will remain at Oxbow under the care of our expert animal keepers, ready and waiting for you to visit as often as you like.
Sponsor a Field Trip
Each year, Oxbow Meadows provides school programs to over 10,000 students. These field trips and in-school programs allow students to gain first-hand experiences learning about our local environment and also support teachers as they incorporate science into their classroom. The majority of these students are from our local community and attend Title 1 schools.
Your donation will directly support our local schools so that every child has the opportunity to learn and explore on a field trip while they connect to the world around us.
Thank you for caring!
