| El Dorado Nature Center is an 85-acre wildlife area which includes two lakes, a stream, and 2 1/4 miles of trail through grasslands and forested areas. Home to foxes, opossums, skunks, insects, turtles, and birds, the Center provides a learning lab for students of all ages. Programs include a variety of science discovery tours keyed to the California Science Framework, as well as free "Movable Museum" outreach programs. These programs include "Paws and Jaws" - a hands-on look at North American mammals, "Acorns, Sea, and Sage" - a discovery lesson about the first people of Southern California, and "Protect our Watery World" - an exploration of non-point-source pollution and how action at home can protect aquatic wildlife. Teacher workshops, science classes, and many environmental programs are also available.
