Our Stepping Stones Program was off the hook this past weekend! The program used fly fishing as a recreational pathway for students to learn about fisheries biology, conservation, and leadership skills development.
Check out this week’s In Their Own Words video featuring Cookie, a 2022 Ursids alum. Cookie shares her field school and outreach experiences!
During their outreach journey, students can submit their outreach books for an “Early Bird” check-in date, when the books are scored and returned to them. As a reward, those students who submit on this date and their families are invited to our special Early Bird Trip. This year, we had the unique opportunity to visit Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center.
This week’s “In Their Own Words” segment features Emma, a 2020 Brookies alum. Tune in to hear her reflect on her journey with the Academy and how the program has influenced her perspective on conservation education!
We are continually inspired by the passion of our students as they take action in their communities. This week, we are thrilled to highlight the outstanding outreach efforts of Samantha, a Brookies field school alum, who has gone above and beyond in her community engagement.
