Nature Workshop Resources
Taking nature workshops helps to deepen our understanding nature and ecology. To find a organizations that hosts environmental and nature workshops start locally. Contact your local nature centers, state and national parks and wildlife refugees. My local wildflower preserve Bowman's Hill, has a full annual rooster of great nature workshops. In fact here are so many workshops, hikes and field trips available in my area that I could spend the next several years attending to workshops. If you know of a place near you that offers great workshops, please email me and I will add it to the list. The list below in for areas other than the Delaware Valley.
