Environmental Education

Short Description:
  Students and groups learn about the Open Space program, as well as many cultural and natural resources that make up these lands. Talks may cover a number of varied topics such as animals and wildlife, geology and the formation of local features such as the volcanos, cultural resources or agriculture. Educators may ask us to adapt our talks to compliment current classroom curriculum. Service projects such as plantings and trimmings in the bosque, trail building and maintenance in the bosque and foothills areas, and trash clean-up in all of our areas may be arranged. All projects include a saftey talk and lessons about the areas involved.
