From Salmon Heroes to Schoolyard Heroes
Learn how to use the schoolyard as an outdoor classroom to inspire observation and action in the local community.
I really enjoyed that we went to Seahurst Park and got to experience the lessons as though we were the students. It helped me understand them more and get a better idea of how the activities might effect my students.
