The North Park Environmental Activities Survey for School Teachers has been posted online. Input from educators is essential to improving natural outdoor classroom landscapes. Please click here to take the survey if you are a teacher.
This survey is especially intended for educators working in schools located within the Park River regional watershed, which stretches east from the Metacomet Ridge to the Connecticut River. Schools in Bloomfield, West Hartford, Hartford, are included as well as parts of New Britain, Newington and eastern Farmington. However, we welcome input from others.
