Description

Be prepared to teach nature study well. After the workshop you will be able to:

• Walk up to a tree: know what to look for.
• Explore the shyness of trees: learn to test this idea on trees nearby.
• Investigate the branches of a tree: understand what it can tell us
• Discover the ecosystem of a tree: what else lives nearby? How can we look closer?
• Interrupt our tendency to ignore trees and take them for granted: find out how to keep learning more and more
• Guide children to use a nature journal in the field or at home.  Use best practices for small groups, multiple ages and independent learners.
