“Teachers are the most important influence on the future of climate change action.” – Lori Weeden
Thank you to the UMass Lowell Climate Change Initiative, UML’s SEED (Sustainability Encouragement & Enrichment Development) grant program, and associate teaching professor Lori Weeden for hosting a professional development opportunity for area teachers, which two of our teacher-naturalists, Katie & Leigh, participated in.
