Elm Fork Education Center (EDA program)

Volunteers are needed as guides for the EDA field trip experience!

The Environmental Discovery and Adventure (EDA) program at the Elm Fork Education Center is a full-day, hands-on, inquiry- based field trip program  that uses the environment as an integrated context for learning. EDA is the foundational program of UNT’s environmental education programs; in partnership with local school districts, EDA reaches more than 15,000 K-8 students within a 35-mile radius of the center each year.

Volunteer Guides are the first and last impression of the EDA fieldtrip experience. They also provide a consistent and friendly face to a full day program with a variety of exciting and educational activities. Daily fieldtrip opportunities begin September 18, 2023. Volunteer once a week, once a month, or as often as your schedule allows. Although we have daily field trips, we set aside Master Naturalist volunteer days each Monday and Wednesday.

Elm Fork Education Center (located inside the Environmental Science Building on the UNT-Denton campus, parking in lot 11) is located at 1704 W. Mulberry St. in Denton.  Parking permits are provided to volunteers.
