Kids in Nature

Kids In Nature (KIN) is a nonprofit organization located on the UC Santa Barbara campus. KIN determines its outreach initiative based on low-performing elementary schools and enlists small groups of fifth-grade students in an authentic science project. Participants are responsible for tending a personal plot of land on Sedgwick Reserve as they learn and choose which native plants grow best at the elevation and climate. All steps in the process are modeled after restoration ecologists when restoring natural areas.
