We invite teachers and students to participate in a hands-on experiential outdoor education program at Edgewood Natural Preserve. This unusual resource so close to your school offers special opportunities for exploration and understanding of the natural environment. The unique serpentine communities distinguish Edgewood as an ideal location to understand and experience endangered species first-hand.

Mission: To inspire in children attitudes of appreciation and caring for the natural environment.

Programs: All our programs are volunteer-based and free of charge. Small group tours promote favorable student-docent interaction.

1. Docent-led discovery walks at Edgewood Preserve for elementary school groups, using a hands-on, interactive approach. Our intention is to correlate field trip programs with California science content standards, including the concepts of ecosystems, life cycles, adaptations for survival, food chains, plant and animal interrelationships, and nutrient recycling by decomposers, demonstrating their particular application to the natural communities at Edgewood.
2. Field trips for high school or middle school science classes, which may be combined with habitat restoration or environmental science projects.
3. Boy Scout and Girl Scout field trips, which can be associated with earning badges.
4. Tours for homeschoolers or special children’s groups.

Contact: For more information about our programs or to schedule a field trip, please contact Carol Hankermeyer at outreach@friendsofedgewood.org.
