Habitat Stewardship Project, Monterey Bay Programs
Program Fees
We do everything we can to acquire grants to offer free educational programming to everyone. When funding falls short we can still offer services through our fee-based programs. All fees for service funds the Habitat Stewardship Project, Monterey Bay Education Outreach Programs.

A HSPMB staff person will visit your school for a one-hour class. Lessons involve but are not limited to native California plants and habitat and watershed restoration. Lessons can be adapted to your classroom needs and California State Academic Standards. HSPMB staff persons speak basic Spanish. Lessons in full Spanish may be possible based on availability of Spanish speaking staff.
