Junior Forest League (JFL) is a program which focuses on various environmental topics specific to Southern Indiana. League members will have the chance to engage with their local ecosystem, collaborate with like-minded Evansville peers, and (most importantly) participate in fun team building activities and games.
The goal of the Junior Forest League is to ignite a mindset of environmental stewardship and community engagement. Each Saturday, we will focus on a new topic, incorporating animal encounters, guided hikes, citizen-science projects, and science projects/activities. We have taken into account to make specific adjustments to each session to match Indiana Academic Standards and Earth Charter principles.
*COVID-19 Guidelines are active. We are ensuring the safety, health and well-being of all participants, volunteers, and staff. Contact our Lead Environmental Educator, Kailene Goldsberry, at kailene@wesselmanwoods.org for further questions.
