Outreach & Education

The Beebe Springs Outdoor Classroom will welcome more than 400 elementary students from Chelan and Douglas counties to Beebe Springs Natural Area. Students will explore biodiversity and cultural diversity as they rotate through stations led by local practitioners. We will host 4 days of the outdoor school with around 100 students in attendance each day. We have several partners who help lead the event and stations, including Washington State Parks, Cascadia Fisheries, the Colville Confederated Tribes, on subjects including Biodiversity, Beavers, Responsible Recreation, Cultural Plant Use, and Tribal History. Volunteers can sign up for one or multiple days. Volunteers will be assigned to activities based on event needs and volunteer skills and interest. Activities may include assisting with station activities, leading student groups between stations, setup and tear down, running supplies between stations and distributing materials.
