Exploring Our Urban Forests - Juniper Elementary San Diego Children and Nature Collaborative This film showcases
Exploring our Urban Forest—A nature/school yard based curriculum at
Juniper Elementary School in the Escondido Unified School District.
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.
