The BAEER Fair has been an integral part of the development of the California educational system. Our youth, in grades K-12, have been the recipients of exciting new curricula, teaching techniques & strategies, all showcased via The BAEER Fair. Over the past 30 years an estimated 470,000 students have benefited from this impact.
This fair is strictly conducted as an educational resource. The BAEER Fair Committee has maintained an extremely high level of integrity concerning the design of this event. We are committed to providing the widest base of environmental resources to the teaching community. Each year the fair presents workshops and exhibits that represent over 120 resources including conservation & stewardship, science, living history, art and more.
