Environmental Education

Outreach and Education

One of the key activities of the County Parks and Recreation Department is educating the public about the County’s invaluable natural resources. Rangers and volunteers are trained in the Environmental Education program to provide multiple interpretive services to the public. Presentations are available to people of all ages, including schools, parks, campgrounds, interpretive centers, camps, scout groups, and churches.

Among these entertaining and informative programs are:

• Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP)
  
• Discovery Program
  
• Wildlife Conservation Programs with Live Animals
  
• Environmental Power Point Presentations
  
• Safety Talks
  
• Ranger-led Nature Walks
  
• Plant Propagation Program
  
• Community Service
  
• Gold Spotted Oak Borer Presentation
