Hands-On Climate Education and Action In Elementary Schools

We explore hands-on climate education and action at elementary schools: featuring McDowell Elementary in Petaluma, CA. Third grade teacher Angela Werner has incorporated a slew of climate education activities into her curriculum – from creek restoration to visiting local wetlands to cultivating a school garden. She and her former student, Sherlyn Deras Ramos, reflect on their experiences and encourage other schools to get involved in nature-based programs.
