It's #TakeAChildOutside week and what better way to celebrate than in our local York River State Park?! DYK that 1 of CBNERR-VA's 4 research reserves is located there? All the more reason to visit! #optoutside #vastateparks
Meaningful Wetland Educational Experiences are valuable lessons that can utilized with students, teachers, and the community! Check out the NOAA Chesapeake Bay MWEE 101 course. cbexapp.noaa.gov/course/view… #mwee @NOAA
VATIDES project trains soon-to-be teachers how to get their students outside for MWEEs. What's a MWEE? Watch this video to find out: youtu.be/F-ZUB2FbrV0 #BWET #teachoutdoors #environmentalliteracy #science @VIMS_MAP @CBNERR @WMSOE @vcusoe @vawesleyan @JMUISAT @JMUCoE @NOAA
We are excited to kick off the VATIDES program this afternoon with our first training! Welcome @WMSOE science pre-service teachers. #environmentalliteracy #BWET #teachoutdoors
