Workshops & Retreats

Adult Workshops
We offer a variety of adult workshops from Invasive Species to Chainsaw Safety and Burn School to mixed media art.





Teacher Workshops
Typically we host two teacher workshops the week after school ends. Past topics have included: Leopold Education Project, Project Learning Tree, Project WILD, Project WET, KEEP (K-12 Energy Education Program), and Global Environmental Change Education. Check back for new teacher workshop offerings!

PROJECT LEARNING TREE & PROJECT WILD EDUCATOR TRAINING
8:30 am - 5:00 pm
Thursday, October 27, 2011

Teachers and nonformal educators will love this exciting conservation and environmental education program. Workshop participants will develop new skills, learn how to adapt activities to their curriculum, explore literature and technology connections, and share expertise with colleagues. The activity guides contain hundreds of learner-centered activities compatible with instruction in science, social studies, language arts, environmental science, and mathematics. In addition to the guides, participants will learn about and receive a collection of educational resources from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources that complement the activities presented in the guides. These programs meet state teacher and academic standards, are eligible for inclusion in an initial educator plan, and can be used in renewal of your licensure.
