About Wildlife Weekend |
Held mid-February each winter, MAEOE's Wildlife Weekend is an adult retreat to explore environmental topics and outdoor skills. Past sessions have included using radio telemetry to locate bear dens, wild edible foraging in winter, snowshoe making, orienteering, wildlife tracking and much more. This weekend is not strictly for educators! Many of our participants come with friends and loved-ones to escape "cabin fever". |
