Tamarac School Bus Fund

Last year 4,100 children visited Tamarac NWR with school groups. With rising gas prices and strapped school budgets, some schools don’t have the funds for Tamarac NWR field trips. TIA has set up a fund to help subsidize bus costs to Tamarac. Please give to this fund and help more children have the opportunity to connect with nature.

Dear Refuge Staff,
My Favorite part was when Ron took us on the Binocular Hike. That was so cool. I learned about otters, squirrels, bear. I really loved that, plus, about the squirrel houses, that was very cool. I may come to Tamarac again some time. Maybe I will meet you there. And that was fun when we learned about squirrels and how they store their nuts. Thanks a lot, that was so cool. Sincerely, Hanna

Dear Kelly and Staff,
Thank you for letting us visit Tamarac. My favorite part of the field trip was the beaver presentation. Some of the things that I learned I didn’t know before. It was really cool to see chewed trees from the beavers. It was really cool! I learned that beavers have nose flaps, ear flaps, and a flap on their throat. Sincerely, Leah.

Dear Tamarac Staff,
My favorite was the binocular hike. I think I saw an otter. It was awesome. I want to go again. I wish we saw the wolves. Your friend, Alex.

Dear Kelly and staff,
Thank you for letting us visit Tamarac. My favorite part of the field trip was the tree games because the trees need water and food and sun. And my other one was the binocular hike because I saw a lot of stuff. Your friend, Nathan.
