Bioregional Education Program:
San Francisco Bay Area
Planet Drum Foundation’s Bioregional Education Program includes
educational and hands-on components. Field trips and workshops
guide adults, students, and teachers exploring and learning about the SF
Bay Area. The program provides a whole systems (bioregional) approach to
identifying and understanding Northern California's unique ecological
qualities. Emphasis is on:
- observation and mapping natural characteristics,
- exploring what makes Northern California distinct,
- discussion of the interrelationships of natural systems, and may
include
- hands-on restoration work or a walk through the site.
Participants gain an understanding of what we must do, individually
and collectively, to restore and maintain healthy natural systems in San
Francisco and the Bay Area. BEP workshops and events can be arranged for
schools, non-profit organizations, businesses, volunteer groups, and the
general public. To arrange a special event for your group, please

call (408) 285-6556.
