Outdoor Youth Education
In adddition to its on-farm workshop series and publications for landowners & farmers, the RCD is involved with providing outdoor, hands-on learning opportunities for youth of all ages.
Whether it is a one-day event, such as Cache Creek Discovery Day, or a custom-designed series of field trips that meet the state's curriculum standards for earth and life sciences as in the STREAM and PAINT programs listed below, YCRCD staff and Education Coordinator, Diane Crumley can assist your organization in developing an outdoor classroom experience in watershed ecology that is appropriate for your setting and age-group.
The YCRCD regularly partners with the SLEWS program that links high school students to on-farm habitat
restoration projects.
A school program focusing on the ecological relationships between plants, animals and habitat zones within
our watershed designed to supplement earth & life science standards curriculum.
