BTN Environmental Educational

Back
to Natives has developed a series of Schoolyard Habitat
Garden programs for Kindergarten through
6th Grade. Each program covers state standards
by introducing children to the wonder of nature, earth systems
and California native plants.
By using hands on interaction with plants and soil, children
learn of the interconnection between plants and animals,
and ultimately how humans are dependent on both.

The Many Benefits to Environmental
Educational |
| Research
shows that environment-based education improves students’
academic performance and test scores, reduces discipline
and attendance problems, and increases their ability to
transfer knowledge to new contexts. Research and classroom
based studies show that students in experiential environmental
education programs learn better, are better citizens, and
transfer their knowledge to new situations better. Environment
based education helps students to feel more confidants,
to feel part of their community, and to think.
