It is a good website for a few local field trips, mainly Hannaford, Michaels, Petco, and Stop and Shop. Some are tours and some and self-guided but it has lots of print-outs and useful information. http://www.fieldtripfactory.com/

The Roosevelt-Vanderbilt National Historic Site www.nps.gov/hofr/learn/kidsyouth/index.htm
Storm King Art Center
We are incredibly lucky to live next to such a world class museum – along with art, they also have bees/bee keeping and a wide selection of natural flora. The native trees, grasses and flowers can be used as examples for the “It’s Your Planet – Love It” series of journeys.
