Pismo Beach Field Trip

By Giving List Staff | April 5, 2024

NatureTrack took a field trip to Pismo Beach and we’ve got the pics to prove it!

While you’re checking out the gallery below, why not also take a trip to the recent past and listen to when KCSB-FM freelance reporter Beth Thornton interviewed Donald Chan in 2022 when NatureTrack first brought the Freedom Trax up to the Pismo Pier for people to use.

Katherine Boone was working for NatureTrack a few years ago when she found the Freedom Trax device online. Here she is on the Pismo Pier with Donald Chan, a regular on our trips – “I can’t get enough of them.” Teachers, students and now, the public can access these game changing devices. Donald Chan is now a docent for NatureTrack – our second wheelchair user converted to a docent. So cool and we’re delighted to have him join the team.

NatureTrack connects children with the wonders of the natural world. By exposing them to nature, engaging their curiosity, and inspiring a love for the outdoors, NatureTrack instills the land ethic essential for appreciating and conserving our environment. It’s a vital gateway to Santa Barbara County’s ‘great outdoors’ for our youth, many of whom don’t have the access my generation may have taken for granted. Supporting NatureTrack is about ensuring the future of everything we cherish about this place we call home.

Give Everyone Access to Nature

Transportation is NatureTrack’s largest cost, and it keeps rising. Your donations help fund field trips and provide more Freedom Trax.

•$7,500 funds a field trip for 100 K-12 students

•$6,500 buys a new Freedom Trax

Any donation amount is appreciated to support our mission. Field trips fill up quickly each year, highlighting our need for more volunteers. Docents play a crucial role with a 5-to-1 student-to-docent ratio. Your contribution, whether financial or as a volunteer has a meaningful impact. Please donate or volunteer today, or both!
