Teacher Training Workshop: WILD School Sites
Teachers, students and wildlife benefit with habitat improvement
projects. These projects can sensitize students to the needs of wild-
life, and enable them to make a small difference right where they
live to benefit local species. Having an outdoor classroom enables
teachers to take field trips without ever leaving school. The stew-
ardship skills that students develop for their outdoor classroom may
reflect in greater ownership and care for the entire school. Par-
ticipants receive six (6) NJDOE professional development cred-
its. Light refreshments provided. Bring: lunch. Fee: Fee: Fee: $20/person IC or OC. Each workshop participant will receive a copy of the
book Homes for Wildlife: A Planning Guide for Habitat Enhancement
on School Grounds. In addition, participants will receive The WILD
School Sites booklet, grant information, landscaping information and
ideas for curriculum integration. Friday, February 17 7:30 - 9:00 PM
Lecture: Totally Tea An 18th Century Tea Experience

taining, costumed presentation of tea lore, history, poetry and
songs. A unique tea tasting follows with several popular
Revolutionary substitutes for tea, including lavender, sage and
