Creatures of Habitat
Our Creatures of Habitat Program is a full-day environmental stewardship experience that immerses students in the vital world of habitat restoration, in a natural area in their own community/watershed.
Students receive an in-class education session before the event to learn about local native and invasive plant species. Then, Peninsula Streams staff and volunteers lead the students through a large-scale invasive plant removal in a nearby natural area. Activities like mulching, planting of native species, garbage pick-ups, and salmon fry releases are often part of the program as well.
Creatures of Habitat aims to inspire a lifelong commitment to environmental conservation. By actively involving students in habitat restoration, we empower them to make a positive impact on their community and the planet.
Volunteers
The success of Creatures of Habitat relies on the support of volunteers, as some events can require anywhere from 15 to 25 volunteers to help with the outdoor activities.
We need enthusiastic and responsible adult volunteers to join us in supervising these outdoor activities. No restoration experience is necessary—we'll provide all the training you need. As a volunteer, you'll have the rewarding opportunity to work alongside youth, guiding them through hands-on restoration work and helping them develop a deeper appreciation for nature. Your contribution will make a difference in empowering the next generation of environmental stewards.
Sign up to volunteer today and be a part of the Creatures of Habitat legacy!
