Ten Strands: Outdoor Learning and Environmental Literacy, Send message by May 18!

The Outdoor Learning and Environmental Literacy Act of 2026 (AB 2158) is designed to help California schools expand safe, standards-aligned outdoor learning to support student mental and physical health, engagement, academic achievement, and general well-being. This bill directs the development of statewide guidance, preserves local control, and launches a three-year pilot program. We are thrilled to share that AB 2158 advanced from the Assembly Appropriations Suspense File on May 14! It had unanimous support from members in both parties! This is often where bills are held and “die,” especially in tight budget years like this one. We need your support to ensure our momentum continues to build. Take action HERE.
