Community Collaborations

Sacramento Splash is and has always been a fundamentally collaborative organization. Our curricula are the product of collaboration among scientists and educators and our programs operate thanks to collaboration among the partners of the Water Quality Consortium.

At Splash, we believe that we can accomplish more together than we can apart. Great things are possible when smart, committed people organize and pull together in the same direction. Check out the links below for more information about some of our recent collaborative efforts.

The G.O. (Get Outdoors) Network

In fall 2008, a collaboration between Splash, the Youth Development Network (YDN), and CREEC (Capital Region Environmental Education Community) succeeded in gathering local providers of environmental education and outdoor experiences. Since their first meeting on October 1, 2008 these providers have continued to gather every few months to form a more integrated network.

Meet Carol Witham, Botanist

Carol is a botanist, which means she studies plants.  Carol says, "Nature is a place to have fun and learn new things at the same time. Just pick a little spot and watch it for a while. Soon you will discover hundreds of little things going on in just that one little spot. Multiply that by thousands and thousands of little spots, and wow!"
