The 2012 Summer Institute is a time for professional development and connection to the network of teachers just like you. We gather to learn about current and past projects, local conservation efforts, place-based educational methods and of the support network that exists through the Northeast Michigan Great Lake Stewardship Initiative.


This year, Alcona High School Agriscience teacher Brian Matchett will be presenting on topics ranging from watershed management methods and forestry to projects like bio-diesel production, stream monitoring and community asset mapping. Even if you've attended in past years, you do not want to miss this year.

Registration is required and limited. Please fill out this REGISTRATION FORM by July 27th to register.
