November Homeschool Day at Chapman Mountain

Land Trust of North Alabama’s Chapman Mountain Nature Preserve is a natural treasure located within 5 minutes from downtown Huntsville. With its education pavilion, restrooms, varied terrain, and relatively easy trails, this preserve is the site of many of the Land Trust’s educational activities and programs.
During the 2025-2026 school year, the Land Trust will host programs at Chapman Mountain designed for the homeschool community. These days offer families the opportunity to visit the preserve with environmental educators on site to lead short hikes, suggest activities, and conduct a small number of short programs.
Because of the Pre-K through grade 12+ nature of homeschooling, each day’s activities will offer families the flexibility to dive as deeply as they would like into a topic. The theme for November’s homeschool day will be “Fall Activities,” but the day will also have topics and activities that cover general ecological concepts. Activities might include birds, trees, plants, or other topics. Guided hikes, read-alouds, art projects, and other hands-on activities will be available. Please note that most activities are led by the adults or older children in each family group. There is not a schedule of activities, and families are welcome to come and go between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
Location: Chapman Mountain Nature Preserve – 1263 U.S Hwy 72 East, Huntsville, AL 35811
Directions: Coming from Huntsville, cross Chapman Mountain and u-turn at Moores Mill Road. When safe, get into the merge lane on the right (plenty of time). When the silver guard rail ends, be ready to turn right onto the paved entrance. Drive through the gate and down the gravel road to the parking area at the bottom of the hill.
