Community Connections for your Classroom

BEEC has been providing southeastern Vermont with quality outdoor education programs for more than twenty-five years. BEEC also coordinates and leads important community-based natural history and conservation programs.

Classes are invited to visit BEEC’s beautiful 60 acres of fields and forest at Heifer Hill, on Bonnyvale Road, in West Brattleboro. In addition to the spectacular views atop Heifer Hill, we boast an array of diverse habitats including meadows, hemlock groves, a mature hardwood forest, woodland streams, a pond and a spectacular vernal pool. Many of our programs can also take place in your classroom and the natural area surrounding your school.  All school programs have an emphasis on observation and inquiry, hands-on activities, outdoor exploration, and learning through the scientific process.  Programs are designed to meet grade-specific Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), but are adaptable to a variety of grade levels. BEEC also offers after-school programs, vacation and summer camps, including camp programs on Teacher Inservice days, as well as Winter Sports options at BEEC, at your school, and at Living Memorial Park.
