For nearly 40 years the City of Berkeley Marina Experience Program has provided high quality hands-on environmental education programs for school children and teachers. The Bay Interpretive Training Program was developed in 1985 to train volunteers in nature education techniques to assist Nature Center staff in teaching children and adults about Bay ecology.
Program topics include:
* Animals (Nov-Feb) - Fish, birds, marine mammals & Bay scientist
* Low Tide (March-June) - Explore the rocky shoreline & docks
* Sailing (March-May) - Students experience the Bay on a sailboat.
* Summer programs featuring Marine Biology & Boating weeks
Our training begins in October 2018 and continues until March 2019. It involves hands-on training sessions covering such topics such as the history of the Bay, marine habitats, and bayshore flora & fauna, with special emphasis on how to teach and use artifacts and live animals. Trainings are ongoing; you may join the program at any time during the year.
The cost is $65 - this covers the training materials, nametags & one boat trip.
