Our Vermont Woods

North Branch Nature Center offers The ECO Institute for Teachers - a five-day nature immersion course for elementary teachers, assistants, aides, and administrators. During the week, a leadership team of professional nature immersion specialists guides teachers in the direct application of outdoor classroom routines as well as ways to incorporate NGSS and Common Core into those routines. All courses are held in an outdoor setting so come prepared to spend the entire day outside. The North Branch Nature Center in Montpelier, VT hosts our group on 28 acres of diverse and abundant land. Learn more.
