Education and Outreach Sam investigates Daphia (zooplankton) from Lake Tahoe

Outreach has always been an important component of TERC activities in the Tahoe basin. Through our education and outreach programs our goal is to provide science-based information about the Lake Tahoe region in order to foster responsible action and stewardship.

We provide engaging exhibits, interactive hands-on educational activities, and conduct effective outreach to draw student groups, residents and visitors to our facilities. Our education programs inspire an interest in environmental sciences, stimulate curiosity, and motivate active conservation and preservation of freshwater resources, especially Lake Tahoe.

In February of 2005, TERC hired Heather Segale as a full-time Education and Outreach Coordinator.
