Kits for Loan
We offer a variety of classroom and field education kits for loan that support formal and non-formal K-12 educators with tools to enhance their science programs. Our kits may be borrowed for up to two weeks and are available at our Portland office. In some cases and with advance notice we may be able to arrange a delivery or pick-up. If you have any questions or would like to request a kit, please contact Alex Rhodes at arhodes@estuarypartnership.org -or- info@estuarypartnership.org.
