School Programs
Outreach To Schools
A major component of SCCF’s multi-faceted Education Department is working with local Lee County students. The goal is to inspire them through experiences designed to increase their awareness and understanding of the natural world and participation in its preservation. During the 2006 – 2007 school year, we reached 4,500 students in Lee County schools. Outreach to schools included environmental education activities at the Pick Preserve with The Sanibel School students, ecology programs with visiting school groups to the Nature Center, and butterfly life-cycle education.
