[PCA] Native Plant Curriculum - Washington State

[Patricia_DeAngelis at fws.gov]

Our wonderful Forest Service listserve member, Vicky Erickson, clued me in 
to the information for Washington state...and Laura Potash graciously 
consented to letting me post her message. PNW is rocking the curricula! 
Read on! 

Anyone know if there is a centralized online location for this 
information? A quick look online and it doesn't appear so.

Have a great weekend, 
Patricia

Also FYI -  a Washington Native Plants Curriculum was developed in 1999. 
Celebrating Wildflowers Curriculum: An Educator's Guide to the 
Appreciation and Conservation of Native Plants of Washington - for 
teachers 4th to 8th grade. North Cascades Institute, Sedro-Woolley, WA 
222pp. with accompanying video. 
 
Like the new Oregon curriculum, it also cross-walked with the state 
standards (E.A.L.R.S.).  For several years a small cadre of us travelled 
around the state giving teacher training workshops (to teach-the-teacher 
on how to  implement the curriculum in the classroom) - these were wildly 
popular.  It was funded by National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and 
developed as a partnership between North Cascades Institute, Washington 
Native Plant Society, and the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. It has 
an awesome video that goes with it.
