Established in 2004, Learning Landscapes is a nationally recognized conservation and education program. We offer a replicable model for schools looking to provide quality, authentic learning experiences for their students, and for land trusts seeking to engage their local community and
​grow the next generation of land stewards.

Get started creating your own program with our Program Toolkit.

OUR GOAL

No matter where they eventually settle, children from the Feather River region will have learned how to get to know a place, to love a place, and to take care of a place.
