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.
