L.A. Environmental Education Fair

Kids & Families  

Experience a greener tomorrow at The Arboretum. Young people, their families and those who educate them will discover the latest hands-on activities, ready-to-use lesson ideas, and useful resources that are easily incorporated into everyday life from leading organizations that promote environmental education and awareness.  Lively entertainment with music, crafts, hands-on activities, and storytelling will make this a fun-filled day for all. Visit wild animals, pick-up a free pine seedling, participate in environmental challenges, and take an “Eco-Tour” to some of the unique areas of the Arboretum. Join us for free workshops designed to teach families and children ways that they can help make the world a little greener!
The Ecological Treasure Hunt is open to students in grades 4 through 12. Using a map and compass, teams will explore the ecological treasures of The Arboretum. Participants are challenged to answer questions about the world of nature. The Eco Hunt is also open to the public. Contact Gary Widdison, (562) 922-6889 to participate.
