Get ready for National Trails Day by joining Children's Guidebook author Wendy Gorton in an interactive fireside chat. Wendy will share top tips and strategies that families, caregivers, and park education teams can do to engage children on the trail, from scavenger hunts, nature art projects, writing projects using trail rating websites, citizen science, and infusing technology by teaching kids to use math with trail apps, plant identification, recording bird calls, Geocaching, creativity-infused projects like creating nature-based TikTok videos about what they see, or even a BioBlitz. We'll have a chance to share your own ideas and thoughts about the kids on YOUR local trails using chat and interactive tools. We'll raffle off a hiking guide pack of 3 of Wendy's hiking books at the end. Come join us!
This webinar qualifies as a Health, Safety, and Welfare (HSW) course (via LA CES).
