Environmental Education

Environmental education helps youth in our community build a connection to the natural world and to develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes, motivations, and commitment needed to act in ways that support the health and vitality of all living things.

As a part of our efforts to advance environmental education around Boulder County, BCAS is a provider with the E Movement, a community-wide effort to provide Boulder County youth with the knowledge, care, skills, and connection to place required to become stewards of the environment. 

E Movement has developed a set of grade-level specific E Guidelines that lay out a scaffolded, whole-child approach to environmental education. Schools, teachers, and third-party environmental educators (like Boulder County Audubon) join the E Movement by using the E Guidelines to create consistency in the environmental education provided both in and out of the classroom. In exchange, the E Movement provides teaching resources, learning and connection opportunities, recognition, and evaluation.

If you are interested in joining our efforts in environmental education as a volunteer, please let us know. We would love to have you!

If you are a teacher, after-school program coordinator, scout leader, or work with another organization and would like to work with Boulder County Audubon on a local field trip, a birdwatching session, or a discussion about birds and wildlife, we are happy to work with you. Please contact us and we can start planning together. We will do our best to fulfill your needs or refer you to another organization that will be able to do so!
