Make It Meaningful: Field experiences are the highlight of any place-based stewardship education project. In this section, we will equip you with tools and tips to ensure a meaningful experience in the field for your students.

Dirty Hands & Wet Feet

Field time is time for students to be immersed in natural resources. Worry less about dirty hands/wet shoes and more about having students bring a change of clothes.

Connections with Community Partners

It takes a village! Field experiences are a great opportunity to involve community partners and allow them to lend their expertise (while students get career exposure!).
