OWL Outdoor Wallowa Learning
Every year Wallowa County 4-6th graders participate in a weeklong outdoor school. Kids explore the County’s plants, water, wildlife, and geology. We work closely with the schools in developing curriculum and meeting state standards. The goals are:
- To increase youth understanding how changes in the environment and human use occur over time
- To increase youth awareness of the environment and human communities in Wallowa County
- To increase youth ability to compare and contrast changes in the environment and human use over time
Each year Outdoor School occurs at a different location. This way kids get to see different parts of the valley. Past sites include:
- Wallowa Lake State Park
- The McDaniel’s Ranch and River Restoration
- USFS Williamson Campground on the Lostine River
