Save the Date! More details to come.
This two-day symposium will bring educators and their partners together to experience and learn about nature-based learning through engagement with the environment, relationship-building, discussion, and workshops.
Participants will leave with a better understanding of the benefits of nature-based learning, practical tools for implementing nature based learning, and connections to a network of practice.
We invite you to join us for one or both days, whatever works best for you. Please reach out if you have any questions or want to help us make this happen.
