The area called Crissy Field has changed greatly over time, reflecting the differing values of the people who have lived there and managed the land. Today, the restored wetland offers a rich habitat and an abundance of learning opportunities. How does culture influence our relationship with the environment? Living with the Land allows students to explore human relationship with the natural world from the perspective of Ohlone indigenous knowledge and contrasting western science approaches. By observing the wetlands past and present, students learn about what wetlands provide and how humans impact this habitat. The program has three sections: a lesson facilitated virtually by NPS staff with work assigned by the teacher, a second lesson facilitated by NPS staff, and a follow-up lesson facilitated by the teacher.
