The goal of this intergenerational learning group is to bring together people of all generations to heighten environmental and conservation awareness in the community.
This learning group united teens from Youth Count with OLLI seniors in one classroom session followed by a series of field trips and a service project. They began with an introduction to environmental issues, followed by field trips to an organic farm in Chino Valley that supplies food the tri-cities area and kayaking on Watson Lake to clean up the shoreline, accompanied with information about local water issues and riparian habitat. They helped with the Join Hands clean-up in Prescott Valley, toured the APS Prescott solar power plant at the airport, and the Yavapai College Chino Valley Agribusiness and Science Center.
