Inland Empire Tutors Come To You

California’s Agricultural Empire of the southland was known for orange trees a plenty, in the past. It was dubbed: The Orange Empire. The citrus industry thrived in its semi-arid open lands. At one time, Riverside County, the heart of the Inland Empire was the one of the wealthiest in California, teeming with agricultural production. It was country-like until Los Angeles’s residents began to yearn for open spaces and affordable houses.

They migrated from the teaming city inland. And Orange Land became Inland: The Inland Empire, east of Los Angeles. The area developed industrially, commercially, and its population burgeoned. Orange trees still abound on the outskirts of Riverside and, in other areas of The Inland Empire. Cities and country intertwine. So resident of these lands of western Riverside and southwestern San Bernardino Counties, East of Los Angeles — wanted to preserve the land. It resulted in the Inland Empire Resource Conservation District.

Conservation is its goal, and it includes youths and education in the agenda. In cooperation with landowners, local, state and federal agencies, environmental groups and farmers — it seeks to preserve lands, saving places of beauty and enjoyment for future generations. There are educational programs to encourage youth’s sense of responsibility. There are also ones that highlight agricultural and environmental careers. A young person, enjoying nature, might later go on to study the Earth System, and combine service to the community with learning physical, chemical, and biological factors of earth science. Inland Empire tutors are on hand to help with learning these scientific subjects and skills. And they specialize in teaching youths test-taking techniques that maximize their success.

Students can help preserve and restore the land. Free field trips include nature walks and study of the native plants, geology, and history. And there’s a nifty Student and Landowner Education and Watershed Stewardship Program. It affords the opportunity to Inland Empire high school students to learn from natural resource professionals. They teach natural habitat restoration on farms, ranches, and open spaces — scientific skills in environmental stewardship.

A young person can align him or herself with the agricultural heritage of the early days of the Inland Empire, and aspire to be a farmer, conservationist, environmentalist, biologist or geologist. One can equally well branch out to the newer industrial and commercial center in the Inland Empire, and nearby Los Angeles County. Whether one aspires to be a farmer, nurse, policeman, auto mechanic, scientist or astronaut, Inland Empire tutors are on hand to help out in acquiring a basic educational foundation, kindergarten onward. They can help you earn your high school diploma, and teach you the steps to high performance at the University of Riverside or San Bernardino.

If college, whether community or four years college is your goal, the Inland Empire Resource Conservation District has scholarships for students having a C or higher grade point average and an interest in the land — environmental science, agriculture, conservation or ecology.
