Bird Nest Study outdoors 
Each year, our volunteer naturalists interact with school children to help them understand the importance of wetlands to both wildlife and people.  Through the naturalists’ enthusiasm, interest and dedication, thousands of school children and their teachers conclude that this is the best outdoor field program they have ever attended! 

We are proud of our naturalists and how they help Sea & Sage Audubon achieve its mission.  Perhaps you have some experience teaching children and have wondered about participating in our exciting outdoor field program.  Now is the time to sign up! 

Each one of us should share what we love and pass it on to the next generation.  If you think educating children about nature is vital and you love being around others who care about nature, then join our naturalist team. Our school tours are held on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. To find out more about this great program and/or 4o sign up for a one-morning orientation, contact Trude Hurd, Project Director of Education, by phone at 949-261-7963 or by email at  .
