In collaboration with the Geauga Park District, Nature Scopes supports the State of Ohio science curriculum for nature-based hands-on activities outdoors. The objective of the program is to encourage exploration and interaction with nature. The students quickly learn that their binoculars  can be used to view objects at distance and up close.
