Simulations are a helpful way of identifying with and learning about bird and animal habits and adaptations. Shekinah also has a stuffed animal display that allows students to see otherwise elusive animals up close. Examples of a Shekinah nature awareness experience might include 'The Well Dressed Beaver', 'A Tossed Salad for a Ruffed Grouse', 'The Squirrel Pantry' or the Survival Game. Nature hikes and Sensory Awareness Trails are also excellent ways of developing an appreciation for the natural world around us.
