Fall Regional Meetup - SF Bay Area, Fremont

Join environmental and outdoor education professionals from across the SF Bay Area to connect and learn. Participants will explore Fremont Central Park, home of Lake Elizabeth and Mission Creek. Come see our “Native Plant Nerds” activity and conduct a mini bioblitz while searching for galls in Stivers Lagoon Nature Area. Study our taxidermy collection and practice Nature Journaling at our Nature Learning Center. 

The event includes snacks, networking activities, and shared learning with colleagues from across the county. 

Environmental educator professionals in any role and setting are all encouraged to attend. 

Site accessibility:

• There are several public restrooms and water fountains available near the Facility, including a recently updated gender-neutral family facility a short walk from the classroom.

• Terrain is relatively flat and most areas we will be exploring are accessible via paved walkways, with the exception of a small portion of our Nature Area where we will be walking on dirt/wood chips and grasses.
