The Alaska Natural Resource and Outdoor Education Association (ANROE) will hold an event for educators in Anchorage.
The Alaska Environmental and Outdoor Education Symposium is a program where teachers can discover the benefits of outdoor learning activities while networking with fellow educators. Attendees will go over current outdoor education programs and discuss how they can encourage Alaska to invest in these activities.
The second part of the event will turn participants into certified Project Learning Tree facilitators. The certification class is intended for people like teachers, Girl Scouts, and those involved with conservation education programs. Those who offer certification programs like this may use brochure printing to give students information to bring home.
The ANROE is an organization interested in teaching Alaskan kids about the state’s natural resources and getting them outdoors. The group was formed by environmental educators in 1984 after the Alaska Environmental Assembly met in Anchorage. Kari Eschenbacher Young is ANROE’s president, and Veronica Padula is the organization’s secretary. Traditional membership rates for the group will cost $35 per person.
The symposium will be on Friday, February 24th and Saturday, February 25th. The first part of the event will take place at the BP Energy Center, and the second part of the conference will occur at Russian Jack Springs Park. Tickets for the whole experience cost $60 per person and are available until February 11th.
