Calling ALL Educators!

Teaching about insects, plants or ecology?

Are you using a school greenhouse or garden this year?

 

Participate in the Northeast regional IPM education demonstration and let Izzy Praying Mantis and pals help you! Engage your students in learning about the natural world (and environmentally friendly ways of managing nature in our human habitats!) with Integrated Pest Management curricula.
