SKY ISLANDS BIODIVERSITY EDUCATORS WORKSHOP GRADES 4 – 12

Via a combination of slide shows, nature walks and hands-on activities, educators will be given the tools, methods, and techniques required to form effective school-based Sky Islands Conservation programs and learn effective ways to impart critical environmental concepts to the students. It is imperative to educate future generations about the amazing wildlife and native plants that we are fortunate to have in the Madrean Archipelago – including our extraordinary natural heritage in Santa Cruz County! Join this Professional Development opportunity at – NO cost to you – and receive a Sky Islands Biodiversity Certificate upon Completion.
