Forest Education Symposium for Teachers

Hosted by Evans Lake Forest Education Centre

Provincial Pro-D Day.

The Forest Education Symposium for Teachers (FEST) will educate teachers and administrators on creating or enriching forest education programs at their schools.  Attendees will receive a program package of educational resources with suggested activities and locations; a chart linking the activities to Prescribed Learning Outcomes (PLO's), lunch and return transportation from Vancouver. 


The one-day symposium will include a workshop, demonstrations of forest education modules, a roundtable  about forest management, and an introduction of the Western Canada SFI Certification Implementation Committee. 

While the content primarily focuses on Grades 6-8, the activities can be easily modified to suit other ages and ability levels.
