Note: Registration/application deadline this Sunday 2/28/2016 Thanks to the support from the Minnesota Ornithologist's Union (Savaloja Grant), Audubon Minnesota and the City of Saint Paul Natural Resources department are offering educators free training and curriculum materials to help bring bird education to students through the Flying Wild Curriculum http://www.flyingwild.org/.
We are offering two Flying WILD workshops in late March. Presented by DNR staff and Flying Wild facilitators, workshops will equip formal and informal educators with new skills and ideas to teach youth about the natural spaces around them with an emphasis on birds. https://www.stpaul.gov/departments/parks-recreation/natural-resources/environmental-education/educator-resources All are welcome to register/apply. If space is limited, preference will be given to educators reaching youth in Saint Paul that are typically underserved by environmental education (see scholarship guidelines https://www.stpaul.gov/sites/default/files/Media%20Root/Parks%20%26%20Recreation/Flying%20WILD%20Workshop%20Scholarship%20Guidelines.pdf). Dates/locations: Friday March 25th at the Como Streetcar Station OR Saturday the 26th at the Lake Phalen Lakeside Activity Center Time: 9:00 to 12:00pm Participants will receive the Flying Wild curriculum materials which are full of educational activities, training featuring some of the activities in action as well as continuing education credit.
