Teacher Resources

The Klamath Region is an excellent example of an area rich in biodiversity. For teachers and children who live in this region, what better way to discuss the topic of biodiversity then to use specific examples from the area that they live. This website is meant to raise awareness of the diversity of the area, and to be a guide for topics to discuss, in the classroom or outside, regarding biodiversity. By reading through this website, visiting the national parks in the area, and conducting environmental education activities based on the diversity of this region, I hope a ‘sense of place’ is fostered amongst those who live here.
