Environmental Awareness Program
The program will consist of three unique components that will give our youth an opportunity to expand their knowledge of the environment.

Education is the key
We believe the support of our youth is crucial to the long-term conservation of our local area biodiversity so we have devised a program to teach students about the history, geography and life science of the Sacramento area.

Field trip and exploration
The new environmental awareness program will give students an opportunity to learn about aquatic life while completing some hands-on educational projects involving wildlife and water.

“Help us get our boat afloat”
The best projects are those that seek to maximize public participation in their design, construction, and stewardship. That is exactly what we plan to do with our new “Help us get our boat afloat” project.

We will involve students, teachers, school administrators, community members, design professionals, and other interested individuals and organizations in the rebuilding of our 30-foot boat.

Environmental Awareness Program Wish list
Can you pound a nail, swing a paintbrush, or steer a boat? Men and women who enjoy working outdoors or with their hands can assist with building, repairing and painting our new boat. Can’t pound a nail, swing a paintbrush, or steer a boat? We are seeking\
for monetary and supply donations to “Help us get our boat afloat.”
