We board members know that we are vastly more resilient and wise when we are working in community - to share insight, ask questions, ask and provide resources, and in general provide support to one another.
Over this past year we have leaned on our Forest School colleagues to figure out how to navigate Covid protocols, how to read air quality indexes, if and how to close school, how to talk about wildfire with children in a way that honors its power and recognizes its growing ferocity, how to do a respectful land acknowledgment, how to increase our awareness of white supremacy and sharing resources about it, communicating what brings us joy in this work despite all the hurdles, and much more. Our relationships have produced invaluable solutions and connections. Now that spring is coming and we are emerging a bit from the weight of the pandemic, we would like to strengthen our community knowledge by hearing your voices, questions and perspectives.
Please join us for a roundtable discussion to connect with other like-minded educators so we can build more solutions and connections. When you sign up you will be asked to submit what questions you are looking to answer, and what topic you'd like to learn and share about.
Board members from Berkeley Forest School, Early Ecology (Oakland), Wildroots (Santa Barbara), Tender Tracks (Marin) and All Friends Nature School (San Diego) will all be on hand to share and learn.
