GLIN==> Michigan Alliance for Environmental and Outdoor Education (MAEOE) Conference Register Now

Hello,



While you may not be a teacher or work at a nature center this year’s theme
of engaging young people in stewardship projects may be appropriate for you.
Also consider  the national push to get kids outside, engaging in all types
of learning and getting healthy many of these sessions may be appropriate
for you.



As a employee of a watershed council who works with youth I see how the
presentations and workshops can provide professional development across many
professions at the fraction of attending a national conference or workshop.
Plus who wouldn’t want to stay at the U of M biological station for a
weekend, hang out with like minded folks and learn some new stuff. I  ask
that you consider attending or send someone on your staff. Please feel free
to share with folks you feel may be interested.
