*If you are interested in virtual service learning please email info@sanctuaryone.org for more information.*

While we are still hosting in-person field trips at Sanctuary One (with COVID protocols), we understand the constraints many educators are dealing with and so we are pleased to offer our first virtual field trips. We believe that onsite hands-on farm experience with nature and animals is best, but we are happy to continue virtually as needed. Sanctuary One educational videos were created to help guide classroom discussion about scientific topics.

You can also find virtual field trip opportunities with Sanctuary One through the Oregon Connections Nepris platform. Other lesson plans are available here.

 

Animal Groups virtual field trip

The Animal Groups educational video takes a closer look at the animals at Sanctuary One. In the video, we examine why certain animals form groups, why others do not, and the pros and cons of each.

Standards: 3-LS2-1.
Construct an argument that some animals form groups that help members survive.

Ruminants virtual field trip

The Ruminant educational video takes a closer look at the animals at Sanctuary One. In the video, we explore the complex digestive system of ruminant animals. We learn the names of the different parts and what they do. As a group, we think critically about why that is important.

Standards: 4-LS1-1.
Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.

Farewell to Pavarotti-At Sanctuary One, the bonds we form with the animals in our care run deep, creating a profound circle of connection and healing. Among them was Pavarotti, affectionately known as Pav, a spirited Boer goat. Pav arrived at Sanctuary One at the age of 12, a time when many goats like him have already said goodbye. Yet, surrounded by nurturing hands and compassionate hearts, Pav thrived for another eight years, becoming a cherished symbol of resilience and the mutual care that flows between the sanctuary’s animals and its people. He embodied strength with a gentle presence that deeply impacted everyone who knew him. His peaceful demeanor brought a sense of calm and connection to those who cared for him, inspiring perseverance and providing moments of reflection in the serene surroundings of the care farm. For many, his ability to connect with people on such a profound level served as a reminder of the unspoken bond between animals and humans—a bond rooted in trust, healing, and mutual respect. Pavarotti’s legacy, and that of the other animals we've lost, serves as a powerful reminder of the full circle of care that defines Sanctuary One. The animals we nurture also nurture us, teaching compassion, patience, and connection to everyone who walks through our gates—from staff and volunteers to field trip students and visitors. As we continue our important work, we remain committed to honoring this beautiful balance, ensuring that Sanctuary One continues to be a place of healing, growth, and connection for animals, people, and the earth alike. ...

With summer solstice upon us, it's time to harvest lavender! Our intern Marley was very patient with the bees as we collected them into bundles, even cutting around stalked occupied by the little fuzzy guys. We will be donating a big box of lavender bundles to the Teresa McCormick Center this week, along with some tomato plants for those participants who are interested in growing their own 'maters. With 80 tomato plants freshly planted in our Healing & Learning Garden this past week, there will be plenty for all TMC participants this season! ... See MoreSee Less
