Cultivating community and stewardship
The goal of Coastal Rivers’ nature education programs is to connect people with nature and promote a lifelong love of the outdoors. We do this by encouraging individuals to make their own discoveries about nature through hands-on experiences.
Many of Coastal Rivers’ adult programs are meant to cultivate knowledgeable stewards of this special region, and address the challenges of living our best lives while still being effective stewards of the environment. If I live on the water, what are the best ways to protect water quality? What are the best plants to have around my house? How can I attract insect-eating birds to my yard?
