Harris Educational Loan Program

Welcome to the Harris Loan Collection at Ryerson Woods

Ryerson Woods is now a satellite lending site for The Field Museum’s Harris Educational Loan Program. The Harris Loan program is an incredible educational resource for your classroom or home, and now you can borrow materials right here in Lake County instead of having to go downtown.

The Harris Loan Program at Ryerson Woods offers two types of media Exhibit Cases and Experience Boxes

Tree Squirrels

xhibit Cases

We have 60 Exhibit Case dioramas (roughly 24” high, 22” wide, and 7” deep) available that show regional plants and animals in natural settings. A pullout label on the side of each case has basic information.
