In the 1980's we brought 70,000 L.A. City School students to State Parks in the Santa Monica Mountains for interpretive programs. What if we had given 1 park brochure to every student who came out? Then their parents would have had directions and access to bring their kids back to State Parks. It would have gone a long way toward increasing use of State Parks by underserved communities. Our program was through the Santa Monica Mountain Resource Conservation District. I am a former State Park Ranger from Topanga SP.

Very true to invest in facilities! Take a look at Arizona State Parks. It has all those things, including good campgrounds, that Bob Doyle is talking about. As full time RVer's for the past 4 years, Arizona has the best equipped and most enjoyable and convenient to trails, visitor centers, and programs.

Fabulous, Sharon Danks! We had children who came out to the park, shuffled their feet in the non-asphalt parking lot, and said, "what's this stuff?" That's Dirt! Soil! we said. Oh, THAT's dirt!

Los Angeles Audubon is working with schools and communities on creating schoolyard habitats, and our high school student interns help to maintain the schoolyard habitats and serve as mentors. Nature is a great teaching tool and outdoor learning is so important.

01:09:47
@Ruth, Thank you! Yes! All children need daily access to the natural environment, and experience exploring the natural world.

01:10:26
@Adrienne, That’s great to hear! I’d love to learn more about the schoolyard habitat work you are doing.

01:10:52
Can we get a list of the links in this chat at the end of the webinar? Don't want to leave the discussion to look now. Thanks!

01:13:06
@Ruth, yes. The webinar is being recorded and the links will be available afterwards.

Ask the refineries in Richmond to help/donate. Chevron is great at listening to the public.
