Professional Development Opportunities: 2010 Growing Greener School Grounds Conference
Please join the San Francisco Green Schoolyard Alliance for a terrific hands-on conference Sept. 24-25th in beautiful San Francisco. The 4th event of this type since 2002, the conference is designed to encourage school communities in the Bay Area and beyond to become stewards of their school grounds--and teach them some of the skills they need to work with their local schools to improve their school gardens and learning and play environments.
Friday (evening), September 24th will include a resource fair and keynote address by Will Rogers, President and CEO of the Trust for Public Land. Saturday (all day), September 25th includes a wide variety of hands-on workshops on topics including: schoolyard master planning, school garden horticulture and curricula, rainwater harvesting, irrigation techniques, tile mosaic murals, cob bench construction, raising chickens in the schoolyard, and many others. Teachers, parents, community members, and the public are encouraged to attend!
