COVID RESOURCES
COVID-19 (coronavirus) has introduced new challenges to the world of experiential education. Our hearts are with all of you as you postpone and adapt programming to slow the spread of the virus, protect at-risk individuals, and avoid overwhelming our health care support systems. Below is a compilation of resources which farm-based educators shared on virtual calls this spring and summer.
