Moving Montañas and the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) is working together to give elementary school students in
our area a unique learning experience and access to our public lands. This
program is intended for 4th grade classes.
Teachers have the option
to receive pre-lesson activity hosted by Friends of Organ Mountains-
Desert Peaks and/or the Bureau of Land Management in their
classroom. Then the class will get a field trip to Organ Monuments-Desert
Peaks (OMDP) National Monument with a local expert.
These field trips are to Dripping
Springs Natural Area and begin at the La Cueva Group Site. From there, students
will enjoy a ~1.5mile hike and 2-3 educational activities on-site with their
guides and teachers.
Students will need to bring lunch and
appropriate gear for being outdoors (closed toe shoes, plenty of water, sun
protection, appropriate clothing for the weather, etc). Transportation
costs will be reimbursed to the school by Friends of Organ Mountains-Desert
Peaks.
- Optional pre-lesson
classroom activity ~ 30-60 minutes*
- Morning guided hike at La Cueva
and outdoor activity ~ 3 hours*
*Time can be adjusted to fit class
needs. Please see section 2 for full field trip details.
