MNA-MAEE Co-sponsored Field Trips

Gentle reminder about MNA co-op'd Field Trips at the upcoming MAEE conference. They are FREE to MNA members (yes, FREE...!). Our members DO NEED TO SIGN UP IN ADVANCE for the field trips with the MAEE registration folks even if they are not attending the MAEE
conference. Of course, we encourage them to attend the conference as well.

Here's a professional development opportunity that's cheap, practical, builds skills for teaching outside, and offers crucial networking opportunities between formal educators and naturalists.

Please forward this on to educators you know who are interested in environmental
education.
