Our Roots Run Far (2025-2026)
Idyllwild Nature Center has revamped its field trip to create a stronger curriculum fitting California Standards for 3rd, 4th and 5th grade children. The field trip is designed to adjust depending on the grade and standards being taught. We provide a great breadth of education opportunities highlighting: indigenous people, the origins of their culture, and their use of natural resources; biodiversity and the blending of ecosystems and how such environments thrive; the carbon cycle, photosynthesis, fire ecology, geologic processes, and environment repopulation and regeneration; human impact on environment; and lastly, the immersive experience of an ecologist -- using the tools of a scientist and working with them throughout their trip.
