Education at ANERR

ANERR education programs are primarily focused on K-12 students and teachers in Franklin County and are designed to support the long tradition of stewardship of Apalachicola Bay.

The rural nature of Franklin County provides a unique opportunity in that each year, every student in pre-K, first, third, fifth and seventh grades participates in standards-aligned ANERR education programs that focus on the ecology of Apalachicola Bay and its value to the community.
