The mission of the WSRCD's Environmental Education Program is to give students in Shasta County hands-on field day experiences during their K-12 years, targeting life science skills by learning about and understanding the complexity of our watershed ecosystems. In partnership with Whiskeytown Environmental School, WSRCD will educate a minimum of 800 children over the 2002-2003 school year using five curriculum units designed using the state Life Science standards and developed under this partnership.

The units are: Grade K - Pond Explorations;
Grade 1 - Habitats: Aquatic and Riparian
Grade 2 - Genetics/Plants: Native Plant Restoration
Grade 3 - Adaptations: Insect
Grade 4 - Webs: Salmon Life Cycle
