Goodbye and Welcome: An update from our Education Team
Sierra Club BC's Education Program Manager James Davis is moving on from his role. While we're sad to say goodbye, we're excited to welcome Ciera DeSilva to our environmental education team.
Spring has arrived in Northern B.C.
Sierra Club BC’s Education Team has been hard at work! Just last week, we delivered thirteen school-based workshops and two professional development workshops for teachers in Treaty 8 territory of the Dane-zaa people.
From Acorn to Wren: The Lost Words
In 2007, when a new edition of the Oxford Junior Dictionary—widely used in schools around the world—was published, it was missing around forty common words related to nature. Sierra Club BC's Amira Maddison reviews "The Lost Words," a book that highlights these missing markers of the natural world.
The eight attributes of connection
There is a lot of talk out there about making a connection with nature. What is connection? What does it look like for you?
Winter greetings from our Education Team
We are now hosting monthly after-school gatherings for teachers in the Capital Region as well as our Get Outside and Learn! workshops for Pro-D events on Vancouver Island and in the lower mainland.
Raising kids in nature-focused communities
Something I’ve noticed just about everywhere I visit is that people in the community have something in common: they’re all looking to find ways to interact and feel a sense of belonging in their own community and connect with nature.
