UPG provides children ages 3-6 with experiential environmental education.

The Director and her staff provide a warm, supportive learning environment with challenges scaled to the age and the child.

Environmental Professionals & Organizations

UPG works with field biologists, botanists, and earth science professionals from many of South Florida’s notable institutions and organizations.

UPG serves as a bridge between the community and science, so even elementary school students can work on projects developed in collaboration with PhDs.

The combination of UPG’s self-taught, innovative and Volunteer-powered methods with formally trained scientists creates an even more potent force for good.
