Living Climate
Curated Resource Pack
This starter pack is meant to help gardens, schools, libraries, museums, and environmental nonprofits decide which free climate learning resources deserve deeper local adaptation.
Start with these resource types
- One reliable activity library for repeated public use
- One teacher or facilitator toolkit for program structure
- One place-based or regional source that matches your audience and climate context
Suggested first-pass shortlist
- Exploratorium Science Snacks for adaptable hands-on investigations
- Ten Strands Seeds to Solutions for climate and environmental justice framing
- California State Parks PORTS and similar public-agency offerings for place-based interpretation
- Regional aquarium, university, and extension resources when you need habitat-specific material
Planning prompts
- Which audience do you need to serve first: students, educators, families, or volunteers?
- What real local system can visitors observe rather than only read about?
- What can staff or volunteers realistically maintain every month?
- Which climate topic becomes clearer when tied to water, energy, planting, or public stewardship?
