Environmental Banks Provide Quality Educational Opportunities

These Sixth Graders had a great time finding items on the I Spy pages they carried with them on a tour of the Valencia Wetland Mitigation Bank (ID) recently.

NEBA has an ongoing mission of providing education in a variety of settings to raise public awareness of the quality and success of the environmental banking program.

The banking industry is creating an ever-growing volume of permanently-protected, high quality habitats that are a great resource for visitors or students to see wildlife they would never otherwise see.
