TuCARE: Blue Mountain Minerals supports and participates in the Tuolumne County Alliance for Resources & Environment (TuCARE) educational program called Tours for Kids.
TuCARE was established to educate and advise the public on conservation and the wise use of natural resources. Their Tours for Kids program works with kids from all grade levels and is comprised of field trips, classroom presentations, and community events.
From schools throughout Tuolumne County, kids come to Columbia to learn about our limestone mine. The tours help kids make the connection between the real world, science and nature, and how natural resources like limestone become part of their every day lives as components in products, energy and agriculture. They learn how limestone products become part of the eggs they eat, make the bottle that holds their favorite drink, and become part of the windows and roof of their house.
We proudly support the TuCARE Tours for Kids program and will continue to help hundreds of Tuolumne County kids better understand how important natural resources are in their every day lives.
