Public Outreach & Communications

We value staying connected with the community! We do this by giving educational presentations to schools, nature clubs or other community groups, participate in public events whenever possible, and maintaining an active presence on social media.   

What do we offer the public?

We value staying connected with the community and always keep an open ear to public groups, events and programs interested in learning more about nature, environmental awareness and local research projects. We provide a variety of ways to keep in touch with the public, including giving educational presentations to schools, nature clubs or other community groups, and participate in public events whenever possible.  


We offer the following services:

  • workshops on a variety of topics (e.g., plant and animal identification, animal handling, data collection techniques, best land stewardship practices)
  • Presentations (e.g., species at risk, herpetology for beginners, local research projects, how to enhance biodiversity on your lands)
  • Participation in public events (hand out outreach materials, "Joad the Toad" mascot)
  • Volunteer opportunities (e.g., toad surveys, Bio-blitz, citizen science project participation)

"Joad the Toad" with the Fowler's Toad Recovery and Implementation Team, June 2017.

One of our priorities at 8Trees Inc. is to provide and participate in opportunities for outreach, education, and science communication with the public.
