Friends of Tryon Creek Nature Educator Training

Have you ever wondered what it looks like when a child gets to see a 100 year old tree for the first time?  What about the thrill of helping a student discover the role of a watershed?  Do you yearn to finally catch a glimpse of an owl while 10 sets of eyes excitedly follow your finger in the hopes of finding them too? Are you a lifelong learner with a passion for spreading your knowledge, authentically welcoming diverse students, and committing to personal growth?  If so, you might be a Nature Educator!   Without you, thousands of students each year would miss out on the opportunity to experience the forest firsthand through educational hikes, activities, and community learning experiences.

Once again, Friends of Tryon Creek is offering a FREE comprehensive nature educator training. This training is designed to give you the tools you need to be a flexible and culturally responsive leader and educator in a variety of outdoor settings, with the intention of recruiting enthusiastic and passionate people to become a part of our family of naturalists, educators, leaders, and learners!
