“My overall experience assisting at Oxbow Meadows was a great experience! I learned about the diverse culture of students that visit from within the local schools and how diverse our ecosystem is as well. The staff is very professional and knowledgeable. I gained valuable experience working there! Again, the staff is what makes this organization so wonderful! The personal connection and time you all provide to ensure the youth is actively engaging in science is a true testimony to what makes you all special! “
