Engaging Students in Solutions-Oriented Climate Science Field Trips Through Local Partnerships
Abstract
Youth climate change programming in parks and natural spaces offers a compelling, solutions-focused approach to addressing local impacts and should be championed by park and open space managers, educators, and community partners. By combining climate change education with hands-on experiences in nature, the San Mateo County Youth Exploring Climate Science (YECS) program exemplifies how parks and open spaces can inspire and empower the next generation to confront local climate challenges.
