Education and public access

Environmental education

Stewardship Through Education.

The Mother Lode Land Trust also acts as a sponsoring agency for the group Stewardship Through Education. Stewardship Through Education (STE) promotes youth stewardship of local watersheds by using the watershed as a classroom. With the mantra first coined by Richard Louv, “No Child Left Inside,” STE’s program creates a bridge between local schools, youth, and community partners through strong collaborative working relationships.Take a look at some of our projects.
