School Programs
FIF is not currently taking reservations for school programs. We hope to update the availability of school programs in January 2017.
Community Programs
FIF offers FREE programs to community groups, though donations are always welcome. Programs provide information on the island fox, how it came to be endangered on four of the Channel Islands, conservation efforts to save the island fox and current status. Programs can be tailored to your group’s interests (Channel Island geology, plants, reptiles, birds, connection to the marine ecosystem). To make a reservation (805) 228-4123 or pat@islandfox.org
Professional Development Workshops
FIF also offers professional development workshops for educators on using a local endangered species and the Channel Islands ecosystem to teach math, science, language skills and conservation issue resolution. Workshops can be tailored to meet your program needs. To discuss a workshop contact Education Director Keri Dearborn at (805) 228-4123 or islandfoxnews@gmail.com
