Environmental education brings an appreciation and understanding of the outdoors through hands-on, inquiry based learning experiences!  Providing tools to educators to enhance environmental education topics helps to expand that knowledge to a greater number of students.  These tools allow educators to increase student literacy with scientific methods, team building skills, and critical thinking.

Warren County SWCD offers workshops designed for educators of all grade levels.  Workshops can be tailored to your class or group’s specific needs. A minimum of twelve participants is required. Program costs vary depending on materials required.  Credits are offered for some workshops.

Each year, SWCD Educators attend trainings around the state to stay ahead of changes in the standards and methods of teaching and conservation practices.

To discuss the possibility of a workshop, please contact Melissa Proffitt or Marta Farrell, or visit our calendar to see if there is anything scheduled. Call (513) 695-3086 for Melissa or call (513) 695-2556 to ask for Marta.
