Environmental Action Projects

KIDS for the BAY Environmental Action Projects provide the exciting opportunity for teachers and students to take action to help solve environmental problems in their local communities. Each project includes engaging hands-on activities focusing on a particular environmental problem and the solutions to that problem.  Teachers and students become empowered to take action and help our local environment!
