individuals who are passionate about education with a desire to introduce people of all ages to the farm, our livestock, and the
unique ocean ecosystems the farm rests upon!
Summary
Wolfe’s Neck Center for Agriculture & the Environment (WNC) is dedicated to creating a world where agriculture and food systems support farmer viability, thriving ecosystems and vibrant communities. On our 626 acres of diverse ecosystems, we farm, conduct agricultural research on soils and climate change, and invite visitors to engage with the food system and the role we all can play in building a more just and sustainable future. The farm is a beautiful and inspiring place for visitors of all ages to learn and play. We offer a diversity of ways for visitors to engage with this place, including numerous education programs, summer camp, a Farm Store & Café, and our beautiful campground.
WNC’s Public Programs connect thousands of visitors of all ages with our farm and sustainable agriculture each year. Educators will play a role in both formal and informal education, with offerings ranging from answering questions for first-time visitors, sensory explorations in the barn with toddlers, guided nature hikes in the forest, to leading workshops in our education kitchen. These programs are both free & fee-based, pre-registered programs, as well as spontaneous barn tours and talks.
Our Farm Programs Educators are the face of WNC. Educators engage visitors in formal and informal programs across the campus to enhance the visitor experience, while helping keep the public and our livestock safe and happy. Educators lead programs with a wide range of audiences to facilitate a deeper connection to our unique farm and ecosystems. Educators provide farm guests with accurate information about our history, agricultural operations, natural ecosystems, community events, and various programs.
