Subject: Junior Explorer: Geology and Fossil Children’s Activity Booklet; Notice of Publication and Availability

 

We are pleased to announce the availability of the recently published Junior Explorer: Geology and Fossils children’s activity booklet.  This publication inaugurates a series of thematic Junior Explorer activity books that can be used by BLM offices to educate young people about public lands and resources in a fun and interesting way.  The thematic series can be used in conjunction with site-specific Junior Explorer booklets to enhance BLM Field Office Junior Explorer programs.

 

Please offer copies of Junior Explorer: Geology and Fossils at visitor centers, BLM public rooms, and other appropriate venues.  We are enclosing an initial supply of 25 booklets for you to distribute to site visitors and/or to BLM staff who work with children’s education programs within your division, State Office, or field office.  You are encouraged to coordinate with your office Forms Manager to order additional copies (up to 100 per order) free of charge from BLM Printed Materials Distribution Services at the National Operations Center.  The PMDS item number is EE2-038A. 

 

The booklet is also downloadable from the internal BLM Environmental Education Junior Explorer webpage and from the external BLM Learning Landscapes webpage.

 

For further information, please contact Megg Heath, BLM National Lead for Education, at mheath@blm.gov or (970) 882-6855.
