Conservation Games
Crossing Paths Educators' Information
Together, the Crossing Paths package includes three integrated companion resources that turn the game into a full conservation learning initiative: a Curated Wildlife Corridor Case Studies guide, an Educator & Facilitator Guide, and a completed Impact Summary Report. The case studies resource links game levels to real corridor examples in Florida, the North Cascades, Nepal, and Kenya, and pairs each with conservation challenges, strategies, gameplay mechanics, story scripts, hints, and environmental learning outcomes.
The Educator & Facilitator Guide provides a teaching framework for classrooms, workshops, NGOs, and youth programs, with clear learning outcomes, facilitator preparation steps, post-game discussion questions, reflection prompts, and hands-on activities such as mapping, role-play, and redesign challenges.
The Impact Summary Report documents the project from concept to playable Godot prototype, explains the path-building corridor mechanics and learning design, and positions the game as a scalable tool for Chipco Preserve’s workshops, outreach, and digital engagement on platforms like Twitch and YouTube.
Taken together, these materials make Crossing Paths more than a puzzle game. They provide a documented, teachable, and scalable framework for conservation education grounded in real wildlife corridor practice, systems thinking, and Indigenous-informed stewardship.

Sustainable Farm Education
Chipco Preserve’s sustainable farm work supports hands-on learning about plants, soil, food systems, habitat, and community resilience. As this work develops, we plan to build educational courses and practical learning tools that help students, families, and communities understand sustainable agriculture as part of a larger relationship with land, water, wildlife, and future generations.
Food Systems Dialogues
Food Systems Dialogues enable attendees to discuss challenges and opportunities for building more sustainable food systems. We hold annual Food Systems Dialogues in connection with the United Nations Food Systems Summit. Contact us to learn more or participate in the discussion.
Native and Non-Native Plants
We provide education, as well as grow and share sustainable native and non-native edible and non-edible plants. As seasonal products are available they will appear in the store. To learn even more, check out our sister company, Chipco Farms.
