Trawling in the Estuary, Nature Journaling, and Introduction to Everglades Champion Schools

Must attend both days to receive certificate and stipend. Overnight accommodations are not provided.

This workshop is open to both formal teachers and informal educators around the country, grades K-12.

Workshop will dive deeper into the research and education at our Shell Island Field Station by trawling in the estuary and exploring Keewaydin Island, including nature journaling and plankton lab. Then, learn how you can become an Everglades Champion School.

The content of the workshop will be based on two sources of curriculum:

NOAA's Estuaries 101 focuses on topics such as: sharks, birds, plankton, invasive species, and water quality.

The Everglades Foundation's Everglades Literacy Program empowers the next generation of conservation stewards by investing in teachers to drive cultural change within schools for the benefit of local and ecological communities.

A detailed agenda will be sent to registrants one week prior.

Food
Lunch will be provided. Please bring a refillable water bottle.

Participation in all activities is required. $100 stipend is available upon completion of the workshop!
