Melting, Moving, Missing: Making Climate Change Visible in Nature-Based Education
In this workshop, we invite educators to explore how climate change is reshaping the natural world—and how to bring those changes to life for students. Through the lenses of rising temperatures (Melting), shifting species ranges (Moving), and biodiversity loss (Missing), this course connects real-world environmental changes to hands-on, nature-based teaching. Dive into human impacts, renewable energy solutions, and strategies for combating the climate crisis. Walk away with tools to help students better understand and protect the planet—while inspiring hope, action, and curiosity in the next generation.
