Teacher Training Program

This Teacher Training Program is designed to help teachers become proficient environmental educators so they may lead successful field trips on the Reserve. Because the teacher is responsible for the group's educational experience, he or she must complete a one and a half day workshop at the reserve to prepare for the trip. Find out about our teacher training workshops.
