Every summer, LDWF hosts the Wetland Education Teacher Workshop, or WETshop, a week-long coastal awareness workshop for formal and non-formal educators. Through WETshop, participants work with scientists to learn about Louisiana coastal wetlands, issues, and history. Workshop experiences provide educators with ideas to incorporate Louisiana phenomena-based science into various classroom settings at all grade levels. One of the main goals of WETshop is wetland stewardship so that participants can implement a 6-hour project to educate coworkers, students, and/or community members in their work parishes about coastal land loss and restoration.
Application Deadline: April 25, 2025
