The Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust’s spring teaching season is right around the corner, and in preparation, they are holding a “spring training” to teach Education Volunteers our 2 most popular programs: “Forest Ecosystems” & “Forest & Fins”.
The first week of training focuses on “Ecosystems”, the second on “Forest & Fins”, and we’re holding 2 Saturday stewardship events just for kicks (and to get to know one another).
If you’re interested in hiking around Tiger Mt. teaching about trees, you should come to week 1. If you’re interested in hiking around Lk. Samm. teaching about salmon, you should come to week 2.
If you’re just generally interested, you should come to all of it!
