K-12 Field Trips (Nueces Delta Preserve)

Field Trips at the Nueces Delta Preserve are TEKS-aligned for any K-12th grade school in CBBEP's 12-county program area.

There will be a number of stations during a field trip that will be run by education staff and trained volunteers, and students will rotate through the stations. Volunteers will be given a volunteer manual, training, and have the chance to shadow field trips before teaching stations on their own. 

Field trips typically happen Tuesday-Friday from either 9am-12pm (K-2nd grade) or 9am-2pm (3rd grade and up).

Tasks will include: 

  • Interacting with students and teachers
  • Train and shadow to teach by discovery learning
  • Co-teach or teach 1-2 activities 
  • Promote stewardship of bays & estuaries
  • Develop working knowledge of endemic flora and fauna
  • Maintain resources and equipment
