Coastal Commission highlights GGBA Eco-Ed programs

ByGGBA

You know those whale-tail license plates that you see all over California? Some of the money from those special plates goes to educating children about coastal habitat — including to Golden Gate Bird Alliance’s Eco-Education programs.

Now our Eco-Ed programs have been written up by the Coastal Commission, the folks who oversee the whale tail grants! You can read their story about us here. Their writer hangs out at Pier 94 with a group of third-graders from Bayview/Hunter’s Point, looks for crabs, and even tastes pickleweed with them.

More on the whale tail license plate program here.

We’re excited to announce our weeklong Wildlife Discoverers summer day camp! Kids from 7 through 12 are invited to join in a week of Bay Area wildlife exploration filled with fun and games. Led by our award-winning Eco-Education staff, they’ll learn to identify local birds, animals and plants; collect marine life like plankton and crabs; explore beautiful local parks; build animal kites and puppets; make art, sing songs and more.

Wildlife Discoverers camp will run from July 9 through July 13. Hours are 9 am to 4 pm, but extended care is available.

Sites include MLK Jr. Shoreline Park, Wildcat Canyon, Point Pinole Shoreline, and Lake Merritt (all in the East Bay).

Cost is $225. Space is limited to fifteen participants and may fill up fast. Sign up early!
