FiftH grade day in the desert postponed

Due to the ongoing government shutdown, our partners at the Eagle Lake Bureau of Land Management Office are currently out of work. As a result, the Lassen County Office of Education’s annual “A Day in the Desert” event for fifth graders has been postponed until further notice.

Each year, students from across the county participate in this immersive educational experience, exploring the desert landscape while learning about wildlife, invasive and native plant species, wild horses and burros, and archaeological insights into the land’s historical inhabitants. This hands-on day fosters curiosity and a deeper understanding of our region’s natural and cultural heritage.

We will notify schools as soon as a new date is scheduled. Thank you for your understanding and continued support of this unique learning opportunity!
