For this year’s 2nd annual education conference the theme has been developed around Outdoor Education and working Beyond the Classroom walls. This year’s event will cover 2 days in the early fall to give a whole new experience for educators.
Highlights include using nearby nature as an outdoor classroom, forest walk, tree identification and care, camp fire activities, a presentation from the company DreamRider, and more.
