Teach Young People Ecology

Join our talented crew of Outdoor Classroom teachers helping grades 1-5 learn about the environment through hands-on activities.

Our next session will be in April-May 2013. Students (and volunteers) will learn about Birds in the Ecosystem through interactive lessons on how and what they eat, how they make their nests, and how to identify birds by their songs.

Spring Volunteer Training:
April date TBA, 9:30 am - 2 pm
At
Maxwelton Outdoor Classroom

Classes are held morning and early afternoon. Volunteers are asked to teach a lesson once a week during the season. You'll work with other volunteers and our terrific teacher/coordinator, Lori O'Brien.
