EEASC Hosts February Midlands Meetup

It’s time to meet up! On Tuesday, February 11, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., the Environmental Education Association of South Carolina (EEASC) is hosting a green networking “meetup” informal session for environmental educators at Saluda Shoals Park, located at 5605 Bush River Road, in Columbia. Following the round robin networking session, participants will join Saluda Shoals Park Rangers Zach Pensa and Rachel Kennerly to learn the basic principles of nature interpretation while enjoying a nature walk and dip-netting experience through the park's wetland ecology program. Both rangers will share techniques such as sensory storytelling, equipment, and helpful tips for outdoor safety and how to lead a nature walk with students.

Attendees are encouraged to come prepared to share upcoming event information (to include flyers) and sustainable program updates with the gathered group in this intentionally informal setting. Nearly 7,000 students participate in Saluda Shoals Park’s wetland ecology program each year.

Cost: Free. For more information or to register, contact Jane Hiller at 803-779-0608 or [email protected], or visit eeasc.org/event-3661874.
