We would like to invite you to a convening of colleagues in western Washington:

Strait Talk, Sound Ideas

Meet new colleagues, make new connections and friends, get fresh ideas - get inspired!

IslandWood is convening a conference for residential environmental educators. This is a practical gathering for the environmental education practitioner.

You can look forward to workshops, explorations and courageous conversations.

To date we are planning sessions on cattail weaving, bat/owl "hunting," storytelling, linking learning in nature to urban ecosystems. We also have guest speakers who will address working outdoors with children who have attention deficit issues and teaching to diverse learning styles.

OFFER IDEAS! Session topics are still being accepted, offer an idea from your center.

How much: $100/person, including shared (quad) accommodations, Monday breakfast through Tuesday lunch, and all programming.
