Education Program
Overview
The Laguna Foundation's Education Program began in 1999 with a handful of committed volunteers who developed curriculum to teach elementary school children about the Laguna. This early curricula evolved into Learning Laguna, a wetlands education program which fulfills California state science and language arts standards for grades 2 through 5.
Docent Training was developed and is offered annually in the Spring. The Education Program has expanded to offer docent led walks for the public in the Laguna and is continually striving to provide more opportunities for learning about the Laguna.
Awareness & Understanding
Children and adults alike often are unaware of the presence of the Laguna and how it affects our lives in Sonoma County. The Laguna Foundation Education Program is there to bring more awareness and understanding of the Laguna, creating more appreciation for the rich wildlife and beauty of the Laguna.
Along with our volunteer docents, private donations and grants from Medtronic Corporation Foundation, The Codding Foundation, the Sonoma County Community Foundation, the Dean Witter Foundation, Summit State Bank, Agilent and others allow us to provide these educational opportunities.
