Great Mountain Forest, in coordination with Northwest Conservation District and UConn 4-H are hosting a Forestry Educators Retreat, “Teach the Teachers” August 14 through 16 at the Yale Camp in Great Mountain Forest. At the time of this event listing, there are 13 speakers with more to participate.
The goal of this retreat is to have teachers of all types (public school, 4-H programs, nonformal educators, etc.) work with industry professionals that will be sharing their knowledge of forests and forest management in New England. This will increase instructor confidence in their knowledge and ability of teaching students of all ages and abilities forestry concepts in their curriculum. Activity based workshops will address the needs of all types of classroom experiences. Sessions are designed to both raise the scientific rigor of agricultural courses and provide middle, high, and postsecondary educators with new technologies and resources for their classrooms.
