Founded in 1954, Thorne Ecological Instute builds Earth stewardship by connecting kids to nature through hands-on environmental education.
Thorne Natural Science School Littleton seeks to increase our students’ awareness of their natural environment by immersing 6-11 year olds in the South Platte river, wetlands and prairie grasslands in the area of Waterton Canyon located south of Chatfield State Park. Our programs run for 5 mornings, are student centered and inquiry-based.
