Deering Estate received a 2023 Achievement Award from the National Association of Counties (NACo) for the Deering Estate Mobile Education Unit! 

The awards honor innovative, effective county government programs that strengthen services for residents. 

The Deering Estate Education department offers a variety of Field Study Trips where students can learn, through engaging hands-on minds-on activities about South Florida’s rich cultural and natural resources. These Field Study Trips place a focus on topics such as scientific method, archaeology, ecology, biology, marine science, and earth science. 

Over the past years there was an increase in demand for doing reverse field study trips where Deering Estate staff brings field study trips to the schools. This is a result of the increase in bus costs and the bus driver shortage. Creating a mobile unit allows our educators to go to the schools and/or locations closer to that school reducing their costs.
