The Starke County Surveyor’s Office is reminding local educators about an upcoming workshop on teaching about wetlands.
The workshop will take place this upcoming September 27th from 9am to 1pm, and will be held at the Bass Lake Beach and Campground, located at 5837 IN-10 in Knox.
The workshop is called Nature’s Miracles, introducing Wonders of Wetlands, and will cover introducing wetlands, wetland habitats, and educator professional development.
The workshop is designed to meet the needs for comprehensive classroom and outdoor wetland activities for grades K-12. Each activity provides information about the grade level for which the activity is appropriate, educational objectives, suggested teaching methods, time, materials needed, background, and procedures. Two final sections provide a restoration and action guide for students and adults, and a listing of educational supplements, books, films and videos, posters, and organizations to contact for assistance.
The workshop is free to attend, those who are interested in signing up should reach out to the Starke County Surveyor’s Office by e-mailing grentz@starke.in.gov. Registration is necessary, as seating is limited.
