The SAN DIEGO WILDFIRES EDUCATION PROJECT has a webpage that has brought together considerable fire ecology information, photos, and contacts for school curriculum. Look at the section, “Education Resources for Teachers” for descriptions of local habitats; supporting curriculum is currently being developed. The primary purpose of this environmental education initiative is to educate and motivate individuals most directly affected by the fires in terms of understanding and monitoring the multi-faceted environmental recovery process, with special emphasis on source and run-off pollution, watershed and habitat restoration, and species recovery. It will also develop grade-appropriate post-fire curricula that will educate and engage students in grades K-8 throughout San Diego County about the fires in terms of immediate, intermediate, and long-term environmental impacts.
