“I have learned that being an Oak Ambassador means more than just knowing about animals, oaks, rocks and other parts of nature. It means being responsible, respectful, and helpful to nature and teaching others to do the same.”
—- Boone, 5th grade Oak Ambassador

Happy to get gardening help from Arroyo Grande BSA Troop 26 at the Santa Margarita Elementary School Gateway to Nature Pollinator Garden and Monarch Waystation this past weekend! Eight scouts helped by spreading around a whole truckload of mulch, donated by Whit's-Turn Tree Care in Templeton.

We are beyond delighted to have had such a great turnout for our volunteer training! As we prepare for school year programming, having such a wonderful group of caring volunteers to support hikes and other outdoor education is essential. Thank you for joining Team LATO! Looking forward to getting those kiddos outside and learning to love nature.
