Professional Development

Programs for Adults


It was a very healthy day for us. It is always beneficial to be the “student” and to experience the activities we ask our students to participate in.

My group of social workers had a wonderful, fun experience. Atmosphere and exercises allowed staff members to go beyond their comfort level and improve on communication skills. The naturalist had a great sense of the staff by the end of the day and added to our experience.

Adelphi University, College RAs
The 3 naturalists did a great job and our students loved the experience! They created a wonderful atmosphere in which our students were challenged, but not pressured, and they were able to thrive in this setting. Some of the students even left this experience with the desire to become naturalists themselves. Our experiences at the Brookville site have always been excellent, but this trip may have been the best yet, Thank you!
