Great opportunity for Texas teachers, through the Chihuahaun Desert Research Center:
We've teamed up with the Welder Wildlife Foundation and the Texas Tech Llano River Field Station to offer a great, 9-day workshop for teachers. The workshop is supported by the Dixon Water Foundation and the Harvey Weil Foundation, so the total cost to the teacher is only $250. That includes instructors fees, materials, meals, and housing for 9 days of the workshop. What a bargain!
During the workshop, teachers will explore the natural resources and conservation issues associated with four ecological regions of Texas: the northern Chihuahuan Desert, the Edwards Plateau, the Gulf Coast marshes, and the south Texas Plains. The application deadline is March 1st, so if you know of a teacher that might be interested in participating, please forward this message to them right away.
For more information and to apply, go to the Boone and Crockett Club website (www.booneandcrockettclub.com), and look under education programs for "CAB TX".
