BEEC hosts first adult environmental education summer program

BRATTLEBORO — This summer, Bonnyvale Environmental Education Center (BEEC) will present its very first environmental education “How To” workshop series designed specifically for adults. The program is being directed by Anna Harris, an Antioch University New England graduate student studying environmental education.

The series kicks off on Saturday, June 11, at 10 a.m., with “How to Live With Bears.”

Workshops will be held on Saturdays in either the mornings or evenings, and will run from June to August. Check www.beec.org for details.

This free summer program will create a range of activities and workshops that appeal to a variety of people and interests, will connect the community with the unique environmental issues of Vermont's southern bioregion, and will create a space where like-minded individuals can spend time together learning about their surroundings in a fun and exciting atmosphere.

The “How-to” series will focus on skill building exercises, including identifying common wild mushrooms, reading the night sky, and using a map and compass.
