“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

Do you know how to calculate how much carbon an oak tree gathered from the atmosphere to grow themselves into these gorgeous giant beings?
Our Oak Ambassadors and fifth-grade students in our program do! This one had just over 3 tons.

The Gateway to Nature Pollinator Garden and Monarch Waystation is all ready for the winter! Thanks to our volunteers who came out today and those that help out in the garden on a regular basis.
Here’s a picture of staff a one of our @calpolycollegecorps Fellows with the Bug Snug they built today from leaves and prunings. This is a fun project to “leave the leaves” while clearing them from our pathways.
