This free community event for children (ages 6+) and their families includes hands-on science activities designed to create an awareness of the unique ecology of Lake Tahoe.
The 11th annual Children’s Environmental Science Day will be held at the historic hatchery research station and the site of the new Eriksson Education Center, located in Tahoe City, CA at 2400 Lake Forest Rd.
This free community event for children (ages 6+) and their families includes hands-on science activities designed to create an awareness of the unique ecology of Lake Tahoe and teach about the various areas of environmental science. In addition to the UC Davis scientists, community organizations provide hands–on activities to teach children about the unique ecology, function, restoration and preservation of Lake Tahoe.
Check out the new education center exhibits and enjoy interactive games, get up close with fish and zoo plankton from Lake Tahoe, learn about wetlands, get your face painted with native wildlife, learn how to fly fish, test the water quality of a stream, visit with local scientists, tour the historic fish hatchery and research lab, eat free ice-cream, see a live-animal presentation and much more!
This event is perfect for families or groups with kids ages 6 and up with an interest in the environment, nature, science and discovery.
Immediately following the kids events, you’re invited to stay for the Open House and Chamber Mixer from 4-6 pm and enjoy a grand opening celebration and toast, food and beverage provided by Sawtooth Ridge and live music by Dan Copeland.
