SLEWS
The Student Landowner Education and Watershed Stewardship Program (SLEWS) youth education program is a joint project with Center for Land-Based Learning , a non-profit agricultural and environmental education organization. Through the SLEWS program, Audubon and Center for Land-Based Learning bring thousands of high school students to habitat restoration project sites for hands-on restoration experience and to connect them with the local environment, landowners and agriculture. Over the past several years numerous Bay and Sacramento Valley high schools attended five field-days each school year to assist with habitat restoration projects. Many of these students were from underserved populations of urban Yolo, Solano, Sacramento, and Contra Costa Counties. Students and teachers built and installed bird boxes, planted native plants, and installed drip irrigation systems, while learning the importance of protecting and improving habitat for wildlife. Farm on Putah Creek The Farm on Putah Creek, a joint project with the Center for Land-Based Learning, is the base of operations for our landowner and student education and serves as the physical embodiment of our mission to demonstrate and promote sustainable agriculture and wildlife-friendly agricultural practices. The Farm on Putah Creek provides a place where students, landowners and the general public can connect to agriculture and nature through its restoration demonstration projects and working farm examples of organic and conventional agricultural practices. |
