Willow Creek Watershed

Watershed Education Program: The watershed education program offers students a hands-on experience where they learn about the life cycle of salmon, the stream requirements for a healthy habitat, and why these threatened fish need our help. The program includes a classroom visit, teacher’s guide and resources, and a docent-led field experience. The program takes place on the Sonoma Coast at Pomo Canyon Campground in the Willow Creek watershed and is best suited for grades six through eight.

Bring your class to a State Park and provide your students with an exceptional environment and opportunity for learning. California's North Coast is a land rich in natural and cultural history, biological diversity and distinctive geology. Engage in watershed educational field studies while seeing a wide variety of flora and fauna.

At each location we have a variety of educational aids available, including unique tours, teacher manuals, on site activities and follow-up lessons. Additionally, Stewards of the Coast and Redwood developed a hands-on learning program that will enhance the environmental curriculum being taught in your classroom. This program will be tailored to specific subject areas and to the particular learning environment of each park unit. Pre-visit activities will provide a preparation for the field trip and post-visit activities will help to reinforce and apply the knowledge obtained in the on-site program. All activities will be outlined in a teacher's manual that you will receive in advance. The program costs will vary in relation to the program type and location. Take advantage of the natural wonders in your own "backyard" by planning an environmental field trip for your class.

Please contact us at (707) 869-9177 or email stewards@mcn.org to request more information about the Willow Creek Watershed program, or any of our educational programs. We look forward to hearing from you and participating in the educational needs of your students. Remember, we also have programs for the Tidepool Experience and Redwood Ecology.
