Let us know how we’re doing!Bellevue Parks & Community Services wants to know how we can make our environmental education programs better. We invite you to give us feedback about programs you’ve attended and suggestions for future programs. You can do this two ways:

1. Ask for an evaluation card at a visitor’s center that you can fill out on the spot, OR

2. Simply send us an email at program_feedback@bellevuewa.gov

Any thoughts you have about our programs are welcome, but we’re specifically wondering;

• Did the program you attended increase your knowledge of the natural world?

• Did the program you attended increase your respect for natural areas?

• What would the ideal length be for a ranger program?

• Do you prefer programs on animals, plants, ecosystems, natural resources, or something else?

• Do you/your family prefer programs outdoors/in parks or indoors with photos and videos?

Thank you for your help in shaping the future of our educational programs!
