Nature Club Grows 400 Percent Thanks to Teacher’s Sacrifice
A Richland educator, Victorine Bair, leads a voluntary nature club for children aged five to twelve. She funds trips herself, accepts no payments, and guides weekly meetings at Manvel park and later a classroom setting. The program, praised by parents, has steady growth with field trips to Kern County Museum and Tule Elk Refuge among others, while many members are kept from aimless days by hands on learning and excursions.
