EcoTrails and powerful messages: A indoor/outdoor Carolinian Canada workshop
In Spring 2015, we hosted an EcoTrail workshop at the Dorchester Mill Pond and the Watershed Conservation Centre (Upper Thames CA) in London. Participants came from across the ecoregion from local to globally significant sites in Canada's deep south.
Over 10 groups worked in teams on their trails including professionals, experts and volunteers. They included First Nations, parks, municipalities, businesses, nature groups, community groups, citizen science programs, government transportation agencies and more.
They explored the use of story-telling along the trail, developed interpretive writing skills, shared innovative ideas for visitor and community engagement and prepared concept themes and materials for their trails.
Many are now launching new EcoTrails. Watch for them by joining our free EcoNews list.
