Nature Education

Canopy Collective’s Nature Education Working Group is a space for collaboration, sharing ideas and resources, and the documentation of active projects related to nature education in Northeast India. Our current focus is on building capacity at the site-level across our network, the creation of educational resources that can be contextualised in the Northeast, and bringing together teams and individuals implementing education projects across the region through a collaborative network. The working group serves as a space for individuals involved in different projects to find a common space for sharing, learning, and documenting ideas and updates.
