Services: Environmental education

I can provide environmental education on a wide range of topics for audiences ranging from school age to adult, including educators, students, home-schoolers, churches and community groups. Presentation content and format can be custom designed for the target audience. Content focuses on growing conditions and the plant and animal communities of the Pacific Northwest, particularly Vancouver Island, although most presentations are broadly applicable. We can include both indoor presentations or workshops as well as outdoor sessions and field work, as appropriate.
