Eno Climate Champions 3.0 -- May (Final) Session

For our final Eno Climate Champions session of 2024-2025, we will return to the Confluence Natural Area in Hillsborough. We will reflect on and celebrate what the teens have learned (with pizza and snacks!) before going on a group walk. They will then work to design a flyer about prescribed burns that will go in our new Eno Education kiosk!

Please email me (YXVkcmV5IHwgZW5vcml2ZXIgISBvcmc=) if your kiddo plans to attend and has dietary restrictions. I am already planning to have vegetarian pizza options.

This program will take place primarily in the outdoor pavilion at the Confluence Natural Area, a nature preserve owned and operated by the Eno River Association. There are two paved, accessible parking spots in the gravel parking lot. Concrete sidewalks connect these parking spots to the pavilion and two accessible restrooms with composting toilets. We will also walk a short distance to the big meadow on mostly flat, gravel terrain.

For more context on Eno Climate Champions: Our annual teen Eno Climate Champions program is back with a new twist! Local teens are invited to join the Eno River Association for a FREE four-session series focusing on the role of prescribed burns in a changing climate. During these sessions, students will learn about the science of prescribed burns, the work that goes into planning and carrying them out, and why they are important in mitigating some effects of climate change. Recommended ages 12-17 years old.
