Education & Outreach

One of the Conservation Program's goals is to serve the educational needs of community members and students through direct interaction with the campus's natural areas and organisms which has allowed us to actively support and engage in a variety of outreach opportunities. 

If you are a course instructor interested in outdoor learning opportunities on Stanford lands outside of Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve ('Ootchamin 'Ooyakma), such as within the Dish, Coyote Hill area, or Lagunita, Stanford offers the ability to obtain a Foothills Use Permit. If you are not currently a Stanford affiliate but are interested in using the Stanford foothills as the backdrop for a course or research project, please e-mail inquiries to conservationprogram@stanford.edu. 

If you are interested in holding a course at Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve ('Ootchamin 'Ooyakma), please contact them directly.
