The Georgia Conservancy is committed to developing awareness and concern for Georgia’s natural resources. Through our environmental education program, Teaching Conservation, we strive to empower Georgians with the knowledge and skills to value and safeguard Georgia’s natural environment for generations to come.
- Educator Workshops – Through specially developed curricula, “Georgia's Native Seasons” and “Georgia's Native Waters,” these state-approved workshops train teachers as well as non-formal educators like scout leaders, nature centers teachers and summer camp counselors about Georgia’s natural environment. Visit our events calendar to see when the next Educator Workshop is scheduled.
