Environmental Education Field Trips

Bidwell Park provides an excellent and accessible opportunity to teach valuable lessons on the natural world and the need for stewardship of the environment. For over thirty years, the Chico Creek Nature Center has provided quality environmental education programs on the natural systems of Bidwell Park to elementary school students and the general public, using the Park as a classroom. Our staff naturalists bring academic backgrounds in life sciences to programs aligned with standards established by the California public school system. These popular and informative programs draw classes from five surrounding school districts and provide an excellent opportunity for teachers to add value to their curriculum.

Please download the adjacent program brochure for details on costs and program content. Interested groups should call the Nature Center to reserve programs (891-4671). Bookings for late spring programs should be made well in advance.
