	Au Sable Institute&rsquo;s Community Schools Program is the premier organization in Northwest Lower Michigan offering a variety of day-long field trips for local schools and other groups. The program serves around 2,000 school age children each year, offering a variety of learning experiences to children spanning from kindergarten to 12th grade. Each environmental education unit is tailored to the specific grade level of the student and also addresses Michigan science objectives for that age-group. Children have the opportunity to experience nature from an environmental perspective, learn more about the world that surrounds them and even learn about the cultural history of the area.</p>
