Tanglewood Discovery Series

These self-guided programs allow a class to conduct their own study of Tanglewood's natural areas. Instructions are mailed to teachers prior to the program. On the day of the program the group leader picks up an "Activity Box" at the park gate. It contains all the materials necessary for teachers to conduct their own program.

Discovery programs are operated year round.
