NEW WORKSHOP SERIES 2022 -2023

STARTING November 5, 2022

Maryland Agriculture in the Classroom: Since 1998, First Fruits Farm has been growing and giving to their local community and beyond. Come learn about the work they are doing to address hunger and how you can use the same principles of growing and giving as the basis of learning in your classroom. Hands-on sessions will focus on the needs of plants, specifically looking at soil as the basis of life, and ways to use these concepts to engage your students in learning about where their food comes from. Ready to implement lessons will be shared with direct connections to science, language arts, and match curriculum and standards. The cost to participate is $30, 1 MSDE CPD Credit

For more information about the Agenda, starting on November 5th.

Warming Climate Triggers Changes in Forests: “A warming climate is causing earlier springs and later autumns in eastern forests of the United States, lengthening the growing season for trees and potentially changing how forests function. Scientists from the Appalachian Laboratory of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science used a combination of satellite images and field measurements to show that trees have greater demand for soil nitrogen in years with early springs.”
