SUMMARY:Educator Trek: Got Elk?
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we search for the majestic elk\, reintroduced to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park after an absence of more than 200 years. Observe and learn about elk biology\, while also exploring other facets of the Park’s ecosystem. Sample some activities used to document the biodiversity of the Park. Participate in citizen science data collection on snails and lichens. Discover how you can bring the excitement of field research into your classroom. \nCredit: 20 contact hours toward CEUs or Criteria II/III for North Carolina’s Environmental Education Certification Program \nLodging: The workshop fee covers a two-night stay in a lodge in Lake Junaluska\, NC. Most rooms will be double occupancy. \nTransportation: Participants can ride with the group from Raleigh departing at 2pm or meet us at the lodging in Lake Junaluska in the evening. Transportation will be in Museum vans. \nRegistration: Register now online \nThe full workshop fee is due when you register and payment is via credit card. Registration for most Educator Treks is on a first-come\, first-served basis. Treks fill quickly\, so register early! IF you find the program is full when you attempt to register\, please sign up for the waiting list! We frequently have turnover and often pull from the waiting list. We will let you know as soon as possible if a spot opens for you. \nNote: We do not want cost to be a barrier for any educator.
