Education and Outreach
Plumas Environmental Education Program (PEEP)
The PEEP program aims to help youth explore and connect with their local ecosystems, natural resources, and public lands; make associations about the health of their surrounding natural environment to the communities in which they live; and then connect with and actively contribute to their community’s well-being while also benefiting the environment through service-learning projects. Under the PEEP project Plumas Audubon Society is working in partnership with Plumas Unified School District (PUSD) public schools, Plumas Charter School (PCS), and Plumas-Sierra 4-H (4H) to develop curriculum for K-12 youth that, through the lens of “Birds and Climate Change”, offers locally relevant and place-based learning while at the same time addresses the broader concept and consequences of climate change. PEEP curriculum will be centered on fieldtrips, classroom lessons and informal education activities, and service-learning projects that can be led by PUSD or PCS teachers or by 4H or PAS volunteers.
