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 worked 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 is centered around field trips, classroom lessons, informal education activities, and service-learning projects that are led by PAS and PUSD / PCS teachers.
