Everglades Education workshop

As mentioned in previous posts, we are kicking off the 25th Annual Everglades Coalition Conference with a day-long program to celebrate environmental education in the Everglades. This plenary session held at Pine Jog Environmental Center will feature a tour of Florida's first gold-certified LEED school, keynote address by Glenn Thomas and a presentation of Everglades teaching tools. Lunch will be provided. Space is limited. RSV P's are a MUST!
