We are excited to team up again with New Hampshire Environmental Educators (NHEE) and  Vermont Education & Environment Network (VEEN) , for the Teach for Tomorrow: Winter Webinar Series, offering educators a diverse range of professional development opportunities, covering topics from environmental science and sustainable education to curriculum connections, all aimed at empowering teachers to engage students and create impactful learning experiences both indoors and outdoor

Helping educators and families connect with the natural world—one wonder-filled moment at a time. If you’re an early childhood educator—or any educator who wants to weave more nature into your curriculum—our friends at Four Winds Nature Institute  are a must-follow. Their blog posts often follow the seasons and are full of hands-on, joy-filled ideas you could implement tomorrow. Recent favorites include “Orb Weave Artistry,” “Acorns as Loose Parts,”  and “Nature Journaling.”
