Join like-minded folk for an exploration and discussion with our heads, our hearts and our hands.

What is it?
This 3 hour workshop is designed to empower participants through collaborative exploration and problem-solving.
What to expect
You'll come out with a clearer understanding and renewed inspiration to fuel protection of the natural world.
Why is it called a "Collage"?
It’s called a Biodiversity Collage as the collage format works elegantly to provide a visually compelling way to clearly organize complex ecological concepts.
This works to foster engagement and invites participants to practice creativity—an essential skill in crafting innovative solutions.
