About this Event
Join Win Everham and Chad Evers for a guided interpretative walk and discussion about the importance of outdoor education. Outdoor environmental education is vital for fostering a deep connection between people and nature. It promotes hands-on learning experiences that help individuals understand ecological systems, develop critical thinking about environmental issues, and build a sense of responsibility for protecting the planet. By engaging with the natural world, learners gain practical skills, improve their mental and physical well-being, and are more likely to become environmentally conscious citizens.
Win, Professor, and Chad, Naturalists Program Facilitator, FGCU Department of Ecology & Environmental Studies
