The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality is co-sponsoring (with NOAA and other organizations) the 2015 Virginia Weather and Climate workshop series, to take place in Norfolk and Gloucester Point in late January and February. Session 1 will focus on basic weather concepts, the connections between weather and climate, and how weather affects the Hampton Roads region. Session 2 will focus on the science supporting the understanding of climate change and on opportunities to incorporate climate change into educational programming. See http://chesapeakebay.noaa.gov/environmental-science-training-center/upcoming-workshops for details and registration.
The VDEQ is also leading two workshops for educators (including Master Naturalist volunteers) on developing effective Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences (MWEEs) for youth. Participants will have a chance to begin planning their own seasonal or yearlong action project. Participants will receive CBFs Guide to Creating a MWEE and U.S. Fish and Wildlife’s Schoolyard Habitat Project Guide. To register:
