Landfill Field Trip (9am ONLY)

1 hr 30 mins··Free

Students will get a tour of the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility by a staff member. This is a great supplement to an in-class workshop. Students will see first-hand that when it comes to waste, there is no "away"!
DIRECTIONS: Meet at the Neal Road Recycling & Waste Facility in Butte County. If you are a school, buses would be paid for by us. If you are a homeschool family, we recommend bringing only 1-2 personal vehicles as nails etc. may burst tires and the roads can get jammed due to too many vehicles at one time.

Fish in the Classroom (February 19th-April 11th)

30 mins··Free

Butte Environmental Council is excited to be participating in the Classroom Aquarium Education Project (CAEP). We will be hosting Steelhead trout and are inviting you and your children to view the salmon eggs throughout their cycle. Children will be able to the view the trout from our office tank and then learning from our Climate Action Corps Fellows about the fish and their importance for our ecosystem. Catered to homeschooling families, this opportunity saw great success last Fall with the raising and release of 34 Chinook salmon into the Feather River and about 10 families signed up.
