Environmental and Science Education

For Schools & Retreat Groups

The mission of Kirkmont Center’s Environmental and Science Education Program is to provide a safe place where all people can experience nature’s wonders. Our goal is to provide educational programs for schools and retreat groups which enhance personal appreciation of our natural world and promote personal growth.

Located in north-central Ohio among the gently rolling countryside of Logan County on 277 acres at the 2nd highest point of elevation in the State, Kirkmont’s unique land parcel is geologically diverse and contains wooded trails, shale ravines, meadow and prairie lands, a natural fen, 2 ponds, wetlands and a variety of native plants and wildlife.

Dedicated to making this rich resource a classroom in which to grow and learn in all seasons, the Environmental and Science Education Program offers many unique opportunities for youth and adults. Kirkmont Center is dedicated to environmental stewardship. Many of our classes for schools meet Ohio Science Standards.

Please contact Ms. Toni Cox, Kirkmont’s Environmental Education Coordinator, to obtain a copy of our full Environmental Education Brochure.
