Southern Interior Forest Educators' Fall Workshop

Forest educators from the Cariboo, Thompson, Okanagan/Columbia and West Kootenay zones, along with COFI's Southern Operations Forest Education Coordinator, gathered in Vernon early in November for a Southern Interior Forest Educators' Workshop. Educators were introduced to the newly-reprinted Grade 3 teacher resource kit and received copies for distribution in their school districts. As well, participants shared resources and initiatives from their programs and discussed events such as Forestry Week 2008 and the upcoming forest education conference in Kelowna.
