Description
IT is also home to the greatest number of plant and animal species threatened with extinction anywhere in the country. Meanwhile, the increasingly urban and racially diverse communities of east county SAN diego have some of the poorest access to nature and green spaces anywhere in the county. This program aims to overcome the barriers people from these under-resourced communities face to meaningfully connect with nature, and to engage them as partners in conservation.earth discovery institute will partner with the USFWS to provide two, 3-hour field visits (one to a SAN diego refuge) to 250 students from title 1 schools that serve diverse populations (at least 50% non-white). Students will plant a minimum of 125 native plants on a SAN diego refuge property to support habitat restoration. We will participate in a total of three community outreach events, in EL cajon, chula vista, and one indigenous community to engaging a minimum of 300 people. We will aim to engage at least 50 new people to receive EDI's newsletter with information and invitations to upcoming events, and some proportion of these to participate in interpretive events. EDI staff will lead two guided nature hikes on a wildlife refuge, with the aim of engaging at least 30 community members. And lastly EDI will work with a minimum of 6 volunteers to perform at least 400 hours of habitat or infrastructure enhancement work during 28 weekly events on a wildlife refuge. Work will be completed under the direction of the refuge manager and biologist.
