For more than 40 years, the Elms Environmental Education Center has offered meaningful outdoor experiences for elementary through high school students in St. Mary's County, Maryland. Elms field studies are fully integrated into the classroom curriculum, and are aligned with both Maryland Environmental Literacy and Next Generation Science Standards.
During grade-specific field studies, students explore the diverse habitats of our county, including forests, wetlands, meadows, and beaches. Field Study programs are led by SMCPS Elms staff and occassionally, Elms Master Naturalist volunteers, at The Elms and at our partner site, Historic Sotterley Plantation.
