An Update on Our Forest Programs and Field Sites
Due to the recent economic challenges facing the financial supporters of Inside Education’s Forest class and field programs, we are currently unable to offer forest specific class presentations in many parts of the province.

Of course, Inside Education continues to speak to the value and role of our forests and lands as well as their integration within Alberta’s water and energy resources through our other class presentations. We also encourage you to consider our current classroom teaching resources and teacher professional development programs that will help you explore these topics with your students.
