Education

 


Environmental education is vital to the American River Conservancy mission. Our goal is to get both youth and adults excited about nature. With a better understanding of our place in the natural world, we make decisions that promote a healthier and more sustainable environment.




School Programs

ARC offers fun, standards-based environmental education programs for pre-kindergarten to high school students. Students explore the natural world while learning about the processes taking place right before their eyes.
