Archived

Bureau of Land Management

Description

This is a “Follow-on” project to expand an existing partnership to include more grade levels and implement a student summer science program which combines hands-on science education, trail maintenance and habitat enhancement project activities. SUSD will assist BLM in developing and presenting site-specific “hands-on”, interactive natural and heritage resource educational programs and products for K-12 audiences. Programs will be correlated to California State Educational standards, and shall be developed in collaboration with BLM and partner technical experts to be culturally relevant to the student population and accurately and respectfully interpret local Native American culture. SUSD will utilize the expertise of its Native American Education program and shall work closely with local tribes and BLM to develop programs to meet mutual goals. Programs and products will emphasize “Tread Lightly!” and “Leave No Trace” principles and practices in order to foster a new generation of responsible outdoor recreationists and land users.
