Project SEE / White Farm
Project SEE (Science and Environmental Education) is a Concord School District science enrichment program founded in 1970. Project SEE delivers classroom and field trip programming to complement the district's elementary science curriculum.
Project SEE's goals are to 1) provide Concord students with concrete, hands-on science experiences, 2) develop scientific and environmental awareness, and 3) inspire good citizens with strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
The Project SEE team leads grade-level field trips for kindergarten to grade 6, both at the Project SEE Learning Center at White Farm and at locations around Concord. These field trips focus on outdoor and applied science experiences, building upon science content taught by teachers and tying to the Next Generation Science Standards. Our science educators also deliver regular lessons in all of our grade 1-5 classrooms, focusing on the hands-on practice of science skills.
You are welcome to visit White Farm to explore the outdoors for yourself. Come hike, ski, bird-watch, or pull weeds in the garden!
White Farm is located at 150 Clinton Street in Concord.

Explorations with Project SEE
Can a burrow keep chipmunks warm?
Concord kindergartens came to the White Farm for our Winter is Coming field trip. SEE educators taught about how NH animals survive our long, cold winters with our annual puppet show. Students learned to use thermometers while pretending they were burrowing, then looked for signs of animals preparing for winter on a nature walk.
Simone Skunk tells why she sleeps in winter.
On our Backyard Birds field trip, first graders learned about nest building and watched at our feeders for other interesting bird behaviors. Project SEE is sending our bird watching data to Project FeederWatch, a citizen science project through Cornell University.
