Hands-on experience guided by a fun smart curriculum is the best way to learn. We help fund environmental education field trips and school programming 
provided by the excellent organizations who do this work. We also help connect teachers to existing environmental education curriculum and support the development of new regionally specific curriculum that will meet Next Generation Science Standards, the goals of Oregon’s Environmental Literacy Plan, and more.
We have sponsored field trips to:
Tryon Creek State Park (Hosted by Friends of Tryon Creek)
We have sponsored school environmental education programing provided by:
ECO (Ecology in Classrooms and Outdoors)
Environmental Curriculum:
From Salmonberry to Sagebrush, Grades 9 – 12
