About the Project

The Open Space Authority contributed funds towards Guadalupe River Park Conservancy's environmental education program, which supports the use of the Guadalupe River Park as an outdoor lab to help familiarize children with the outdoors, instill a sense of environmental stewardship and to teach hands‐on, standards‐based science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) lessons, with a special emphasis on serving students from Title One schools.

“There’s so much that I find rewarding about this program. Every day we get to see ‘the awe’ and experience how excited the kids are to be outside.”
