These cards featuring images of ticks native to California accompany the Food Web Lesson Cards and the Food Web/Parasites Lesson Plan.

This lesson plan/activity teaching about food webs, trophic levels, and parasites was designed for Kids in Nature's small group settings during field trips to the UCSB Lagoon or North Campus Open Space but could be adapted to any outdoor environment.

The Eighth Annual Santa Barbara Botanic Garden Conservation Symposium for 2020 was themed “Children in Nature: Prescription for a Healthy Planet” and featured UCSB Environmental Studies professor Bridget Lewin, UCSB student Paulina Samosa, and Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration staff member Andy Lanes as panelists that present their experiences with environmental education and the Kids in Nature program along with a short video by Matt Fratus.
