Open to any teacher in DC, MD, PA, VA.

Immerse yourself in Prince George’s County’s climate action efforts through a five-day, place-based exploration of local ecosystems, community initiatives, and sustainability solutions. Participants will engage in hands-on investigations and site visits across the county including the new Schmidt Outdoor Education Center, Clagett Farm, and CBF's Potomac River Environmental Education Program, examining how climate change impacts natural systems, infrastructure, and communities at the local level. Through discussions and collaborative learning, educators will explore climate mitigation and adaptation strategies, green career pathways, and opportunities for student engagement in real-world problem solving. This experience equips participants with classroom ready resources and practical strategies to connect students to authentic climate challenges and solutions happening in their own county..
