Schools, teachers and tertiary learning institutions
Nairobi Arboretum has education programmes to inspire environmental awareness and cultivate a connection to nature and through highlighting the practical benefits of conservation to people, as well as animals.
The Arboretum offers a wide variety of environmental educational and outreach programmes for schools, teachers and tertiary learning institutions (all levels). The children learn environmental themes such as sustainable development, forest conservation, wetlands protection and waste management. We engage the young ones in activities like Art in the Trees, Trees and Mathematics, Nature treasure hunts to inculcate in them concern and care for the environment at a young age.
The Arboretum also offers specific educational activities planned by teachers together with Arboretum education staff. It offers in-house special lectures/film shows for schools and the general public. Soon the Arboretum will introduce an outreach programme to help those limited by time or transport and are not able to reach the arboretum be able to build a connection to science that reaches beyond the classroom walls.
We believe that to secure a better tomorrow, we must impart ideas and ideals about conservation in the younger generations today. We provide tours to schools who pre-book, receiving over children from both private and public schools. If the time allows, the tour ends with the children watching videos on environmental subjects.
