Chris Pare and William Riley, Co-Presidents of the Outdoor Environmental Club at Belmont High School, are launching another Belmont Climate Summit on October 28th. The Climate Summit brings climatology leaders from around the state to teach and inspire young people.
Educators of students in grades K – 4 interested in incorporating nature, wildlife, and science activities into their curriculum are invited to join the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department for a hybrid professional development workshop this October. This Project WILD: Using Your School’s Outdoor Space for Learning seminar is intended for instructors who want to build on a child’s sense of wonder about nature, encouraging them to explore wildlife and the world around them by using an outdoor classroom, schoolyard, or natural area.
You are invited to learn about the project *Caterpillars Count!*, which enlists members of the public to count insects and other arthropods found on the foliage of trees and shrubs.
Learn how to set up a site, conduct bug surveys, and submit and visualize your data with a free mobile app at one of three webinars in April!
