Utah Master Naturalist for Teachers: Mountain Adventures
Applications will open Friday May 3rd!
Keep reading to learn more about this Utah Master Naturalist for teachers field course, and check back on May 3rd for applications.
In collaboration with the Utah Master Naturalist program, NHMU educators are providing an opportunity for teachers to learn more about Utah's unique and beautiful ecosystems. For the Utah Master Naturalist Mountains Adventures, teachers will be going out on three day-trips to visit parts of Utah's mountains. We will be spending time in the oak maple, pine conifer, and alpine forests. Prior to this workshop weekend, teachers will be required to complete an online training portion of this course which will be emailed in advance.
Come join us while we explore these systems and learn about how they function, the plants and animals that live there, and how they are managed. Class size is small in order to maximize your opportunities for learning and having fun!
What you'll walk away with:
Teachers will earn 1.5 USBE credits for attending the field trips, and have the opportunity to be certified as a Mountains Master Naturalist. Preference for this workshop's cohort will be given to those who attended either the watershed or desert courses offered earlier in the year.
When: Wednesday July 17th through Friday July 19th, 2024 (8:00am-4:00pm each day)
Where: We will be meeting at the Museum each morning and travel together to various community partners and locations across the Wasatch front throughout the day
Who: K-12 public school teachers in Utah (Space is limited. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance status)
Cost: FREE - all supplies, transportation, and accommodations will be provided
Registration will open on May 3rd!
Please note:
