Coyote Teaching

The animals live their secret lives all around us. The fox that visits the garden every night or the robin that nests nearby or the sparrow hawk who watches that robin, are often invisible to us and often we are unaware even of their existence. Their lives are dominated by ours and as their numbers decline we are almost completely unaware of it. How do we foster awareness and curiosity in children about our local fauna and floral? So that they know as much about the firecrest as they do about a leopard. We will explore how to read these stories in the landscape through the tracks left behind, and how to develop nature mentoring tools with kids to foster a deeper sense of place and curiosity.
