Description: Spend a Saturday with us exploring how to support learners' connection with their local watersheds and wildlife. This workshop brings together educators to reimagine watershed education with accessibility, creativity, and inclusivity in mind.

We will explore strategies for engaging diverse learners and consider how to choose physically accessible outdoor spaces or bring watershed learning indoors when needed.

Using the Aquatic WILD curriculum, we’ll try out adaptable activities that introduce students to the aquatic wildlife in their own communities. You’ll leave with practical tools and ready-to-use ideas for making watershed learning engaging and accessible.

Dress prepared to spend the a day outdoors and varying winter weather conditions.

Considerations: This workshop will be held outdoors, during varying weather conditions, and includes a walk along a half a mile trail that loops around the pond.
There is a covered pavilion and port-a-potties are available.
