What do students do during ridge to reef?

Ridge to Reef offers science, outdoor skills, and mentorship experiences through regular class visits and watershed-based field trips.

The focus of the Ridge to Reef program is to conduct hands-on learning to investigate and better understand local lands and waters. Students then apply their knowledge toward real-life and meaningful efforts to protect, safeguard, restore, or clean up areas within their local watersheds.

Thanks to a grant from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Bay and Watershed Education and Training (BWET) grant program, we will be offering this program at select schools in North Kohala for 6th and 7th grade students from 2021-2023.
