About Us

Earthroots Field School grew out of a community need for environmentally progressive & conscious, enriching, outdoor, hands-on classes for children and adults in southern Orange County, California. Co-created in 2004 by a small, dedicated group of homeschool families and guided by Jodi Levine, Earthroots Field School has taken root and now serves over eighty families and many private and charter schools in Southern California each season. Earthroots is incorporated as a 501(c) 3 and welcomes leads on applicable grants to enhance our programs and outreach.
