'Human/Habitat Interactions'
Workshop for Teachers
In ‘Human/Habitat Interactions', explore social and ecological considerations regarding human uses of land that are in conflict with one another and with wildlife habitat needs!
Throughout the day, we will be joined by field experts and evaluate different points of view that may arise regarding land-use issues. Educators will gain hands-on experience with related activities from the K-12 Project WILD Curriculum Guide to take back to the classroom.
We will also embrace all things 'winter wonder' on the Mesa with a snowshoe nature hike, guided by Dr. Bruce Bauerle. You don't want to miss this special and fun learning opportunity!
