Teacher Toolboxes

Engage, excite, and educate your students about the natural sciences with the Brenton Arboretum’s Teacher Toolboxes. These resource kits designed for K-12 students and community groups are complete with touchable specimens, reproducible materials, and themed books and field guides that are sure to spark curiosity about the natural world through a variety of subjects.

Pick-up & Drop-off

Toolboxes are available for pick-up and drop-off at the time chosen during the reservation process. Toolboxes will not be available outside the designated time.
The pick-up date is the Saturday listed in your confirmation email.
The drop-off date is the Wednesday one and a half weeks after the pick-up date.
Please help us by returning toolboxes on time and in good condition so we may properly clean them for the next educator’s use. If your toolbox is returned late, it will be subject to a late fee.
Toolbox reservations must be submitted at least 1 week prior to the start of the reservation period.
Reservations are not confirmed until you receive a confirmation email from Arboretum staff.
