The City Green Field Trip program provides comprehensive outdoor, nature-based education for students from northern NJ. Field trips take place at our Farm Eco-Center in Clifton or Learning Garden in Paterson, and ensure interaction with the natural world, an understanding of where food comes from, and access to hands-on lessons tied to NGSS standards. 

​

As students rotate through activity stations, they will get to taste seasonal produce, observe farm animals and native wildlife such as insects, animals, and plants, practice sustainable gardening, and have a lot of fun outdoors!
