Summer EE Teacher Training in Region 8  
 
 

Summer is a great time for environmental education teacher trainings! You get to be the student, go outdoors and learn more about your local environment. We are offering a Project WET, Project WILD, Project Learning Tree and EEI training all-in-one two days this August 3rd & 4th at Rancho El Chorro Outdoor School in San Luis Obispo. This opportunity is made available for any teachers in Region 8. EE Providers can also attend if your programs are listed on the CREEC Resource Directory, you publicize the training with the teachers you serve and also conduct two new lessons in a classroom just like the teachers have to do. Please email me by June 15th to let me know you want to come! 
Here is the link to the calendar listing and flyer: http://creec.org/events/2509
