Watershed Education
STRAW had engaged more than 25,000 teachers and students in hands-on restoration of rural and urban creek banks.
An inspiring documentary traces the impact of STRAW on students, teachers, ranchers, partners and the community.
SF-BEEP provides watershed and marine science education to San Francisco high school students.
The Bay Institute's Watershed Education program includes two groundbreaking programs: STRAW (Students and Teachers Restoring a Watershed) and SF-BEEP (San Francisco Bay Estuary Education Program).
STRAW coordinates and sustains a network of teachers, students, restoration specialists and other community members as they plan and implement watershed studies and restoration projects in Marin, Sonoma, Napa and Solano counties. Since its inception in 1992, 25,000 students have participated in over 275 STRAW restorations on rural and urban creeks, planted over 25,000 native plants and restored more than 20 miles of creek banks.
SF-BEEP introduces urban youth and teachers to the San Francisco Bay Estuary and the challenges facing this vast watershed. It includes in-classroom seminars, a high school internship program that extends learning to the workplace setting, and a summer institute for teacher training.
