Abstract

A number of educational projects which focus on youth awareness and involvement with California oaks have been developed during the last five years. Primarily used in urban areas where oak populations have declined, many of these programs promote seedling propagation, tree planting and help to develop student understanding of environmental issues involving oaks while also promoting acquisition of stewardship values. A review and discussion of programs which feature oak awareness and participatory opportunities are provided. These programs could serve as models for groups involving youth in oak education and resource enhancement.
