Washington Teachers Chatboard

Low-cost outdoor education programs at the Arboretum

by Meg Matthews

Mar 3, 2009

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:...See MoreHi everyone. I don't think this falls under the prohibited commercial services posts, so here goes.

Washington Park Arboretum Youth Programs

During 2008, thousands of youth from the Puget Sound area participated in preschool – 12th grade programs at the Washington Park Arboretum.

We offer you and your students a chance to explore the Arboretum’s world-class collection of trees and shrubs set amongst gardens, meadows, woodlands and wetlands through a Seedlings Preschool Program, Saplings School Program, Summer Sleuths Program or Self-guided Explorer Pack!

Experience the splendor of color and wildlife at the Arboretum and schedule a program now for spring and summer 2009.

We offer fun, hands-on and 100% outdoor programming rain or shine!

Saplings School Programs are aligned with Washington State Essential Academic Learning Requirements, Environmental Goals and Guidelines and Grade Level Expectations!

Seedlings Preschool, Saplings School and Summer Sleuths Programs are only $6.00 per student for a guided program!

Popular! The calendar’s filling up fast, so book now! Please call Arboretum Education at 206-543-8801 or email [email removed].

We look forward to hearing from you!
