The Brandywine and Red Clay Valley Associations (BVA/RCVA) are pleased to offer a broad selection of environmental education programs for school groups. Our programs are held at the Myrick Conservation Center, 6 miles west of West Chester and 3 miles east of Unionville. The Myrick Center is a 314 acre preserve that contains a model conservation farm as well as forest, field, pond and stream habitats. We look forward to seeing you and your class at the center.

Designed for students with a wide range of exposure to the outdoors, BVA/RCVA provide in-the-field instruction to supplement school curriculum on a variety of environmental education subjects. The programs are designed with Hands on  Education in a progression so that, as students' knowledge and capabilities increase, so does the sophistication of the concepts covered. Programs are generally held at the Myrick Center but some outreach programs are also available. Also, be sure to ask about our Summer Camp Programs.

The School Programs Brochure for the 2002-2003 school year is also available by mail.  To have the brochure mailed to you contact BVA/RCVA at 610-793-1090 or  e-mail [email protected]. Please include name and full mailing address to receive that brochure and learn more about our Hands on Education.
