School children scan the horizon for rare birds.

Naturalist-Guided Walks for Grades K-12

Experiential programs with San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy inspire our next generations to be stewards of the natural environment.

Join our wildlife classroom and learn from trained naturalists about the ecology and history of San Elijo Lagoon. Students can explore this wetland by fine tuning their senses in many ways, from feeling crystals on saltgrass, to listening for the call of a migratory bird.

Get ready to explore and discover what makes a wetland so special, and important to protect. Our school programs are science-based, and feature naturalist-guided walks (1.5 hours) centered on the topic/grade level chosen.

Curriculum-based environmental education programs meet California Academic Content standards for use by teachers. Educators are encouraged to enroll your classes in our naturalist-guided tours that explore the beauty and wonder of San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve.
