They include the award-winning Biodiversity Basics educator's guide and student book, Oceans of Life educator's guide, Smart Consumers, Biodiversity Primer (high-gloss magazine for kids) and educator's guide, Biodiveristy 911 Kit, and other materials. Descriptions of these materials are found at acornnaturalists.com

These materials are for use in the classroom, so please spread the word to your school’s teachers and principal. Get them before they are gone – it’s first come, first served!! Here are some direct links to some of the resources so you can see what’s available:

You can pick up the materials from Acorn Naturalists (155 El Camino Real). Hours are 10 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Monday - Saturday. There are no limits on quantities at this time. THANK YOU to Jennifer Rigby of Acorn Naturalists for making this available to our schools.

ALSO:
Pam Edmondson of Ladera’s Go Green Committee suggested the Daily Green newsletter for ideas.

Terri Benedict of Red Hill’s program uses these easy to make newspaper pots. You just wrap some old newspaper around the wooden form and you have a pot that can be used for seedlings and planted right in the ground. http://www.richters.com/newdisplay.cgi?page=./CommercialRetailers/potmaker_main.htm
