Save The Bay's award-winning Watershed Education Programs allow students to discover the natural treasure that defines our region: San Francisco Bay. We offer middle and high school students and teachers environmental education experiences on the Bay and in their schools.

In 2005, Save The Bay’s Watershed Education Programs received an Outstanding Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP) Implementation Project Award at the biennial State of the San Francisco Estuary Conference.

These programs provide students and teachers with an awareness of the Bay, a connection between their daily lives and a local wetland, and a sense of responsibility for the Bay through active stewardship:

Canoes In Sloughs 
Canoes In Sloughs opens students’ eyes to a whole new world through an on-the-water learning experience that helps them gain knowledge about and respect for nature and the Bay.  In 2001, the program was awarded U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer’s Excellence in Education Award.
