The Eco-Sustainability and Division of Instruction have partnered with The Broad Museum to bring you Social Forest: Oaks of Tovaangar curriculum. Drawing from Joseph Beuys' post-war reforestation art project 7000 Oaks, this curriculum applies the theme of reconciliation to the Los Angeles Basin, or Tovaangar, with a focus on the native Tongva community as we connect science, art, and culture together. Through its emphasis on the themes of People, Place, Science, and Art, teachers will learn how to guide students through the curriculum best to reflect on environmental stewardship, awareness, and responsibility as we explore the land of Tovaangar.

Each of the four lessons integrates short readings, discussion prompts, visual worksheets, and Tongva vocabulary, aligning with NGSS Standards. Teachers will gain insight into fostering students’ understanding of the interconnectedness between environmental science and cultural history while supporting thoughtfulness around indigenous perspectives.
