In-Person Field Trip: Ranch History & Farm Animal Encounters

Travel back to the year 1900 here at Wilder Ranch and discover what it was like to live and work at a dairy ranch on this program designed for grades 2-4. Join California State Park interpreters during this two-hour-long program while we explore the essentials to making a successful dairy ranch. Students will meet our farm animals, learn how to do the jobs necessary to dairy ranching, and explore what everyday life would be like for someone their age at Wilder Ranch over 100 years ago. The number of students who can participate per program is 15-35 students, with a 1:2 ratio of chaperones to students. This program takes place outdoors, so please be prepared for varied weather conditions and bring water.
