Fall Regional Meet-up! Cancelled due to low registration

Join environmental and outdoor education professionals from across Humboldt County and the northern coast of California to explore two local sites, meet colleagues working in a variety of settings, and deepen your practice through shared learning. The event includes lunch, a tour of the sites, networking activities, professional development, and an online gathering of meet-up participants from sites across California for the annual fall awards ceremony celebrating the northern and southern environmental educators of the year.

Experience a full day of exploring environmental education sites on either side of Humboldt Bay. The day begins at the Northcoast Regional Land Trust's Freshwater Farms Reserve for a tour of the restored wetland area and field trip site, and interactive activities. Lunch will be served at 12:30pm at Friends of the Dunes' Humboldt Coastal Nature Center. At the Nature Center we will also stream the state-wide AEOE online gathering, hold discussions for professional development in our field (inlc. conversations about livable wages, quality jobs, ecogrief, and climate change), and go for a Dune walk to explore a restoration site on this side of the bay!
