Channel: LEARN
Date: 2023-11-21

Join the LEARN team and Coyote Programs for an hour webinar where Steve Leckman, Director of Coyote Programs, will share the “Nature Mentoring Approach” featuring a short and fun activity called a “Tourist Test” and a discussion about the benefits and challenges of incorporating nature into the classroom.

Steve Leckman's biography: Steve finds a lot of hope from the magic of connecting deeply with the natural world in community. He has studied at the Tracker School, Past Skills, McGill University, and was an apprentice at the Wilderness Awareness School. He is an accomplished wildlife tracker and passionate earth skills practitioner. He has guided canoe expeditions and wilderness excursions for many years. He has been coordinating and leading nature connection and mentoring programs in the Montreal area since 2011. You might catch him sitting in his backyard listening to birds, tending the garden and bees, breaking rocks for stone tools, crafting bows and arrows in his garage, beat-boxing or pretending to be a raccoon.
