High School Professional Development with Land Trust Education
July 23 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm
Join the Land Trust of North Alabama for a day of engaging professional development designed specifically for high school educators. These sessions will provide hands-on experience, practical classroom resources, and ideas for incorporating place-based, project-based learning into your curriculum. Teachers can choose to attend both sessions or pick one.
Session 1: Exploring Citizen Science with iNaturalist
9:00 AM – 11:00 AM | Chapman Mountain Nature Preserve
Take a guided hike with a Land Trust naturalist and discover how to use iNaturalist as a tool for citizen science and real-world data collection. Learn how you can empower your students to observe, record, and contribute to biodiversity research in your local environment.
