Ag education program set
CHATHAM — “On-Farm Experiential Learning for Teachers” at the MARESA Institute will be June 21-22 at Northern Michigan University and the Michigan State University North Farm in Chatham.
The on-farm experience is designed to empower educators to carry out project-based agriculture, food and natural resources education in the classroom.
It will provide an opportunity to view tested activities, like saving seeds, composting with worms and using garden produce in a classroom, in a hands-on context.
Participants also will visit the MSU North Farm to practice topics learned at NMU.
The cost is $60. To register, visit www.solutionwhere.com/WW/MARESA/Default.aspx.
