Education
KCCB offers watershed educational opportunities for children through adults. Our programs are designed to engage students around water-related issues, foster a curiosity for the biodiversity of the Coyote Creek Watershed, and encourage a stewardship mindset.
To schedule programs or for more information, contact Molly Curtis, Education Coordinator, at molly@keepcoyotecreekbeautiful.org or 408.905.9207.
College Presentations and Projects
College offerings are tailored to the individual course needs. Examples are Water Quality, Intro to Environmental Science, climate action projects, and marketing.
BioBlitz Service Learning Events
A BioBlitz is an event that focuses on finding and identifying as many species as possible in a specific area over a short period of time. At a BioBlitz, scientists, families, students, teachers, and other community members work together to get an overall count of the plants, animals, fungi, and other organisms that live in a place. These events are a service-learning opportunity since not only are participants learning, but they are contributing to iNaturalist, a tool to support science.

Nature Walks and Birdwatching
In partnership with a myriad of other organizations, we offer nature walks and birdwatching at some of the beautiful parks along the Coyote Creek park chain. Places we’ve visited include Coyote Creek Visitor Center, Coyote Valley Open Space Preserve, and Hellyer County Park.
Bike Rides
Join us as we ride along the Coyote Creek trail or through Coyote Valley while stopping at various locations to learn about the creek, nature, and the social connections we all have to our watershed. We recently hosted a ride for families at the Coyote Creek Habitat Day at the Coyote Creek Visitor Center in June.
