SUMMARY:Toolangi Forest Secondary Teacher PD Day postponed to T4 2025 (Vic)
DESCRIPTION:Postponed to T3/T4 2025 \nAs educators\, how can we address environmental topics in a way that minimises student disconnection or anxiety about these issues while motivating them to take action? Join Anne-Maree McInerney\, General Manager of Gould League and a recognised global sustainability advisor\, for a day-long exploration in the forest alongside experts in climate science\, biodiversity\, drones and water conservation. This professional development opportunity is designed to uplift and inspire teachers as they discover the economic\, social\, and long-term advantages of healthy mountain forests and their critical role in our future. \nWe will discuss the immense value of ecosystem services forests provide such as crop pollination\, water purification\, food security\, and carbon sequestration\, which collectively amount to trillions of dollars worldwide. Participants will gain insight into local wildlife adaptations\, the historical significance of ecosystem services in the Yarra Ranges catchment area\, and the effects of human activity. Our expert speakers in Climate Science and Water Services will ensure that teachers leave with crucial information that aligns with the school curriculum. This knowledge will be reinforced through an outdoor walk in previously burned forest areas and a hands-on skills session\, allowing teachers to experience first-hand what their students would encounter during an excursion. \nThis day celebrates the magnificent tall trees of the Toolangi State Forest and the river system that sustains us\, providing Melbourne’s water supply. This innovative approach to real-world learning offers a peek into the future of education\, fostering resilience\, creating jobs\, and making positive contributions to society and the environment.
