Outdoor Education Adventures

Through Outdoor Education Adventures, naturalists Theresa Crain and Neyssa Hays use the wonders and magic inherent in nature to excite and educate people in biology and ecology. Theresa and Neyssa each have degrees and professional backgrounds in natural resources and have extensive experience working with adults and children in both formal classroom settings and in nature.

This channel is an online extension of that work. Here we will post videos about nature, mostly in the Willamette Valley, Coast Range, and Cascade Mountains of the Pacific Northwest. 

Because we're starting this channel during the COVID-19 pandemic, our initial videos are predominately about things people might find in their own backyard or just on a walk about their neighborhood. They are intended to give just enough information for caregivers to share with their kids. We hope you find them useful; please let us know if there's a particular topic you'd be interested in having us cover.
