Environmental Tours
Get on the bus, y’all! We offer a variety of bus tours around Louisville and the region that help groups learn about environmental challenges, their social justice implications, and the ingenious, inspiring solutions that are helping to bring about a more just and sustainable world.
Field Trips – Educational Outreach
The Earth & Spirit Center’s Environmental Educational Outreach Programs are designed to promote children's curiosity and care for the Earth through direct learning experiences. These experiences help them explore the spiritual connection between themselves, nature, and science. On our 27-acre campus of fields, woods, and gardens, and in our historic, renovated brick barn, children will be encouraged to creatively engage the natural world and cultivate a sense of stewardship for our planet. Field trips can be custom-designed for school groups, youth groups, groups of families, and other organizations. Email us for more information and to schedule a field trip.
