Hi everyone. I don't think this falls under the prohibited
commercial services posts, so here goes. My name is Meg
Matthews, and I work in education and outreach at UW Botanic
Gardens. We wanted to let teachers in Western Washington
know about our fantastic, low-cost (and scholarships are
available) outdoor education programs at the Arboretum. All
programs feature “hands-on” activities and are aligned with
Washington State EALRs.

Right now, we still have spaces available for experiential
programs for students in grades K through 12. I was
wondering if there’d be a good way to contact the right
teachers to talk about our programs and answer any questions
they might have – either by email, attending a staff
meeting, or another method you recommend? If anyone has
suggestions, please shoot me an email; our goal is to avoid
pestering people, so your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! More info about the program follows, in case you
yourself are interested:
