Project SEE / White Farm
Project SEE (Science and Environmental Education) is a Concord School District science enrichment program founded in 1970. Project SEE delivers classroom and field trip programming to complement the district's elementary science curriculum.
Project SEE's goals are to 1) provide Concord students with concrete, hands-on science experiences, 2) develop scientific and environmental awareness, and 3) inspire good citizens with strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
The Project SEE team leads grade-level field trips for kindergarten to grade 6, both at the Project SEE Learning Center at White Farm and at locations around Concord. These field trips focus on outdoor and applied science experiences, building upon science content taught by teachers and tying to the Next Generation Science Standards. Our science educators also deliver regular lessons in all of our grade 1-5 classrooms, focusing on the hands-on practice of science skills.
You are welcome to visit White Farm to explore the outdoors for yourself. Come hike, ski, bird-watch, or pull weeds in the garden!
White Farm is located at 150 Clinton Street in Concord.

Explorations with Project SEE
Discovering tiny wetland life
In May, Concord 3rd grades explored the White Farm wetlands. Students learned about how plants and animals adapt to this ever-changing habitat. We found tons of life in the wetlands including tadpoles, insect larva, turtles, frogs, and red winged blackbirds. Students studied microscopic life as well.
Finding diverse life in our wetland
Fifth grades visited the White Farm to help plant our new serviceberry tree and pollinator garden. Students learned about the Power of Plants in all of Earth's systems-- modeling how they prevent erosion and protect water quality, impact the atmosphere, and benefit animals.
Project SEE is grateful for community donations and help in our efforts to make our property more wildlife-friendly. Grappone, Osborne's Farm and Garden, NH DNCR, Concord's tree subcommittee, and local master gardeners have been great supporters!
Help from Mrs Harrison's class with our new serviceberry tree
Planting pollinator-friendly native plants
Kindergarteners capped off their classroom science unit about forces by participating in the Force Olympics with Project SEE. Students experimented with pushes and pulls to complete challenges like lawn bowling and the weighted sled pull.
