Teachers Participate in the 8th Annual Invasive Species Field Course
 The Invasive Species Field Course took place July 12-13, with 25 educators participating. The course has been developed to teach educators and environmental professionals about invasive species in the Great Lakes region, and to prepare them to effectively teach their students, colleagues, and volunteers about invasive species. The course included seminars from environmental professionals, a field trip to the Boardman River Nature Center, and a Schoolship Program on the schooner Inland Seas. Participants had a great time and left feeling prepared to teach others about preventing the introduction and spread of invasive species. Thanks to all the faculty members who helped make this program a success! |
