Exploring Our Urban Forests at Whitman Elementary School San Diego Children and Nature Collaborative This film showcases
Exploring our Urban Forest—A nature/school yard based curriculum at
Whitman Elementary School in the San Diego Unified School District
(SDUSD). Teachers are working with a nature coordinator to implement
hands-on, nature-based science curriculum using the nature in their
very own school yard. This program is funded by Calfire and sponsored
by San Diego Children and Nature and San Diego Science Alliance and
will provide teachers with the tools to continue this method of nature-
based teaching well beyond the grant funding. Our objective is to
promote the use of these lessons by teachers throughout the district
and to show that these lessons are easy to use, engaging, hands-on and
experiential. We also want to demonstrate that any schoolyard can be
used for these lessons. One tree, by itself, is considered and urban
forest and can support an ecosystem made up of plants and animals.
