Each winter, SLL and partners host a day-long education workshop for formal and informal educations working in and around Boston Harbor on environmental issues. Participants join for a morning of virtual lightning talks highlighting organizations and projects around the Harbor, and then come together in-person for an afternoon of knowledge exchange.
Where are the best places to explore Boston Harbor with students and programs? Help us build our map of great place-based education locations by viewing and contributing to our community map! Submit your favorite locations here to get them on the map.
Join our growing network of Boston Harbor Environmental Educators by adding your organization’s information to our directory! Your entry will appear on our community map, and will help fellow organizers find and connect with programmers in the area.
