Invasive species education aligns with multiple curriculum themes while lending itself to outdoor learning, community involvement and social responsibility.
Invasive Species Student Education and Action will be an engaging workshop with:
- Demonstrations of hands-on activities and student-led projects
- Shared stories on how young people can take action on invasive species
- How to deepen student observations using nature journaling
- Tips on how to become stewards of a local greenspace
- A tour of ISCBC’s suite of educational resources and ready to go lesson plans
- A chance to win great prizes!
