Sounds like such a wonderful climate education experience! I loved reading about the connections made to local climate action solutions in different contexts- for example, related to the green crabs used for fertilizer as part of a Maine-specific environmental response- and the diverse examples of climate education opportunities provided through visits to the Maine Audobon Center, Wolfe's Neck (which I just camped at for the first time this past summer- it's an amazing place!), and Gulf of Maine Research Institute. Hearing from students directly through the Maine Environmental Changemakers program is also a crucial component of teacher climate PD-- what an awesome lineup of opportunities for the fellowship participants! Happy to have read this update, and would like to encourage teachers to reach out to me as the fellowship progresses if they ever have any comments, questions, or updates on using a food-based climate change education activity or curriculum in their schools. Always happy to support this Climate Resiliency Fellowship however I can!
