Education
Our Education Program brings environmental instruction to students throughout San Diego county through field trips and other active hands-on nature experiences.
Our OutdoorExplore! and OutdoorExplore! Habitat Helpers programs take students out into nature in their local neighborhood places, and teach them about the special plants and animals they share with their communities.
Our 4th Grade Science Discovery program combines in-classroom lessons with a two hour naturalist-guided field trip to our Silverwood Wildlife Sanctuary in Lakeside, where students gain a natural history understanding of our precious and diverse chaparral and coastal sage scrub habitats.
This year, thanks to a generous funding support from San Diego Gas & Electric's Environmental Champions Initiative and other donors, our OutdoorExplore! and 4th Grade Science Discovery programs will provide over 1,600 students with active, hands-on exploration of local, native habitats while stimulating an ethic of stewardship and civic responsibility for their communities and local natural places.
