The Teaching Environmental Science Naturally (T.E.N.) Program of Fremont County is a class that helps educators develop ways to teach environmental education in the classroom, on school grounds, and through the utilization of area outdoor resources.

In 1996, 31 teachers spent 2 1/2 days learning about stream and fisheries management, bird habitat and identification, ecosystems, and governmental issues. They spent half a day touring various learning stations located in natural areas that would be easy to visit with their students.

The T.E.N. Program is a cooperative effort among: the Colorado Division of Wildlife; the BLM Canon City District; the U.S. Forest Service; and a Core Team of teachers from school districts in Fremont County, Colorado. The Core Team is composed of 15 teachers from various schools, who both plan and teach the Course with assistance from State and federal agency employees. In the past, teachers have received one graduate credit through Adams State College, Alamosa, Colorado. This year, two graduate credits will be offered, and the course increased to 3 1/2 days. For more information, please contact Ken Smith of the BLM Canon City District at (719) 269-8553.
