[Pollinator] WHC Corporate Lands for Learning Workshop

[Kat McGuire]

Join the Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC) for the 2007 Corporate Lands for Learning (CLL) Education and Outreach Workshop on October 10-11, 2007, at the BP Decatur Plant in Alabama. Located on the 500 plus acres of this award-winning wildlife habitat is the Wetlands Edge Environmental Learning Center. The facility is a cooperative effort with local school systems to enhance environmental learning in the Decatur area. Programs are based on Alabama Education Standards and include components on plant growth and development, coastal ecology, animal studies and the study of butterflies and other insects.

 CLL offers experiential, place-based learning opportunities by using local corporate habitats as a tool for teaching to explore ecological concepts and the human role in conservation. CLL opens doors to experience innovative teaching and learning techniques and the opportunity to involve communities in conservation efforts. http://www.wildlifehc.org/corporatelands 

 Participants in this workshop will be trained in the Council for Environmental Education's Project WILD and Project WILD Aquatic and will receive curriculum books to use as a part of their educational programs or in their classrooms. WHC encourages anyone who is involved in an environmental educational program to attend. Learning opportunities will cater to beginners through experts, and help sites expand their wildlife habitat programs by establishing a CLL program while meeting educational needs within surrounding communities.

 Please be sure to download the online registration and payment forms and send in as space is limited on a first-come, first-served basis.
