Into the Redwood Forest (Grades 3-4)

How can nature teach us about community?

Maximum group size: 30 students
Teachers and chaperones: 1 adult per 10 students
Description: This ranger led program allows students to explore the ancient redwood forest in Muir Woods. Black tailed deer, coho salmon and banana slugs are just some of the species that call this place home. Students will understand the different communities of the redwood habitat and how they thrive as one ecosystem.

Students apply this lesson by imagining their own communities as a redwood forest and determining what role they will play.

A teacher workshop is required for teachers new to the program. This workshop serves as an orientation to communicate the program's expectations and standards. Detailed workshop information will be communicated during the application review process.
