Educator Workshops
REINSTEIN WOODS TEACHER WORKSHOPS
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, in partnership with Friends of Reinstein Woods, offers a variety of professional development opportunities for teachers. These 3-hour to 6-hour workshops are designed to help educators incorporate environmental education into their existing curriculum. Workshops also can be done at an individual school upon request. In addition to the workshops below, you can also check DEC’s Upcoming Educator Workshops schedule for workshops at Reinstein Woods and other locations. For more information about educator workshops, contact Reinstein Woods at 716-683-5959.
Reinstein Woods sends out quarterly emails announcing upcoming workshops and other opportunities for teachers. To request that you be added to the list, send an email to: teachered@reinsteinwoods.org. (We recommend using a personal email address since many school districts block bulk emails).
We also have multiple activity bins for educators to borrow. Find out more on our Educator Resources page.
