Our goal is to inspire life-long learners of all ages and backgrounds. Through exploration and discovery, our scientists, citizen scientists, and volunteers contribute to our understanding of the prehistoric worlds and the planet we inhabit. Our educators engage visitors and participants through interactive public outreach, immersive, hands-on experiences, and an invitation to contribute to academic and scientific research. Together, we will preserve and foster stewardship of these precious natural resources, while cultivating appreciation and love for the natural world, both past and present.
