Watershed Awareness Programs
Join us in our outdoor classrooms. Our educators lead three unique programs that provide students with hands-on science education in the outdoors.
Stewards of the Watershed (field trips)
Teachers choose a field location from over fifty sites in Amador, Calaveras and Tuolumne counties. A three-hour field trip includes hands-on lessons and a service learning component. Field trips run from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, but start and end times are flexible to meet your scheduling needs. Learn More →
“Thinking Outside” Field Trips
Details
There will be a ratio of one STE educator to 20 students, depending on the field activity and location. Low income schools are encouraged to apply for free or subsidized transportation, funding permitting. To request a field trip led by STE educators, please fill out the Field Trip Request Form →
Classroom Aquarium Education Program (CAEP)
Classrooms raise salmon or trout from eggs to fry in this California Department of Fish and Wildlife program. An aquarium is set up in the classroom allowing students to observe fish as they hatch and develop. The experience culminates in a field trip to a local river where fish are released. Learn More →
Watershed Alive! Days
Our curriculum, Circles and Cycles, is presented at day-long, grade-level Watershed Alive! events. Young students move from station to station learning and participating in activities that range from aquatic ecology to wildlife habitats. Participants are taught by STE educators as well as teen leaders from the Watershed Alive! teen program.
