Brief Description:

Golden Gate Audubon staff and volunteers work closely with teachers to provide opportunities for third, fourth and fifth grade students—and their families—to explore and learn about their local environment in the classroom and on field trips.   Students discover how their lives connect with local habitats and ecosystems. Through creative, hands-on activities, they learn about the ecology of the local watershed, first in their classrooms and schoolyards and then on field trips to nearby creeks and wetlands, and finally to the Pacific Ocean. In each area, students learn about and help restore local wildlife habitats. Families are invited on the ocean trips, for many a first-time experience.
