Your Students' Information

$10 per student



This 1½-hour program takes students on a gentle hike to: visit the Dirt Doctors laboratory, receive a message from Waterdrop, discover trash-reducing items in our Treasure Chest, and plant tree seeds to grow the city forest. Through interactive games and activities, students solve riddles about the city forest and how they can help it thrive. Each participant plants a seedling to take home (tree-care instructions included)

This 2-hour program takes students on a treasure hunt in search of six Treasure Rings that symbolize natural cycles existing in the city forest. Students visit the Dirt Doctor's laboratory, play the Air Exchange game, and see rainstorms in our Urban Watershed Garden. The experience results in a better understanding of the city forest and how everyone can help it thrive. Each student also plants a seedling to take home (tree-care instructions included).

This 2-hour program takes students on a moderate hike through Coldwater Canyon Park including stops at our native plant nursery, Parking Grove, Urban Watershed Garden, and LEED Platinum-certified conference center. Students observe the Basic Forest Principles at work through a variety of sustainable solutions and earn medallions along the way. The tour also includes a visit to the Environmental Learning Center, where the students will plant a seed to take home with them!
