Outdoor Education at Redwood

Since 1979, Howland Hill Outdoor School has been providing curriculum-based environmental education programs for students ranging from preschool through 8th grade, as well as education-related rental groups. This work goes beyond the four walls of the classroom as staff have also traveled to local senior centers in Del Norte county to host programs for their residents.

Howland Hill Outdoor School is located in the northern district of Redwood National and State Parks (near Crescent City, CA) and is one of two outdoor schools within the park.

Wolf Creek Outdoor School is located in the southern district of the park (near Orick, CA) and also provides curriculum-based environmental education programs for students.
