Please reach out with any questions or to express interest any of our programs.
We would love to work with you!
Field Approach
A journey meant to get participants outside the and connected to nature. This educational trip directly introduces plastic pollution issues while inspiring students to become stewards for the environment.
What to Expect:
Beach Clean-Up
Stroll along the shore with us as we collect marine debris and learn more about the local ecosystems.
Reflection Talk
Participants will gather together for an educational discussion about items most commonly found on our beaches, the negative effects plastic pollution has on our ecosystems, and things they can do to be stewards for the environment.
Sifting for Microplastics
Participants will be introduced to microplastics as they work together sifting through the sand in search for microplastics.
Classroom Approach
Can’t travel to us? Don’t worry, we’ll bring the beach to you! Participants are introduced to plastic pollution issues without needing to travel.
What to Expect:
presentation
Participants will engage in one of the newest environmental issues of their time; plastic pollution. This educational discussion will address the negative effects plastic pollution has on our natural ecosystems as well as encourage them to become stewards of the ocean.
Sifting Activity
We told you we’d bring the beach to you! This hands on activity allows the students to sift through portable sand boxes in search of microplastics.
Arts and Crafts Approach
“The EARHT without ART is just EH.”
We believe that art is a way of expression and what better way to express important environmental concerns than through art. Participants will create inspirational pieces made from marine debris that can be displayed in an art exhibition. This program gets participants involved in ocean conservation and community activism in a fun and creative way.
What to Expect:
Beach Clean Up
Participants will have a local clean-up where they will clean the local shorelines and collect marine debris.
Craft Time
With help from us, participants will have the opportunity to create inspirational art pieces from collected and cleaned marine debris.
Art Exhibition
Students and teachers will work side by side in creating a small art exhibition to share with the local community. This small exhibition is meant to bring the community together and help shine light on the plastic pollution epidemic.
