The CORES program is uniquely designed to provide hands-on experience in ecological restoration, teach observation skills in the natural environment, and encourage self-reflection. Our programs are based on holistic and place-based education. We will sit with teachers to special design outdoor programs to teach or reinforce their objective or essential standard. It is also aligned with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study.
Experiencing nature in paradigm-shifting ways through the CORES program gives youth new tools and experiences to live successful lives in a healthy environment in the 21st Century. |
Programs can be done on school campuses or in expedition to natural areas. CHER has partnered with Triangle Land Conservancy to conduct programs on TLC properties. CHER also has working relationships with Wake County Parks, Raleigh Parks, and State Parks. Our programming cultivates bioregionalism, or the awareness of the ecology, economy and culture of the place where you live, and a resulting commitment to making changes that enhance them.
Youth can make a difference through hands-on habitat restoration in ecologically significant areas. |
