COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS FOR LEARNING

COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS FOR LEARNING

In partnership with the City of VacavilleSolano Land Trust and Solano Resource Conservation District, Solano County Office of Education has created the Solano Outdoor Explorer Quest to help students get outside and experience science and natural phenomena in the world around them.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We should take a moment to acknowledge the land on which we explore. For thousands of years, this land has been the home of Patwin people, including the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation today. The Patwin people have remained committed to the stewardship of this land over many centuries. It has been cherished and protected, as elders have instructed the young through generations. We are honored and grateful to be engaging families in exploring and learning on their traditional lands.
 
good luck explorers!
