Past Symposia
2019 Symposium: Our Planet, Our Children, Ourselves
Our 2019 Educator Symposium was hosted at the Mercer Slough Environmental Education Center in Bellevue, WA, where just under 100 educators and administrators came together to collaborate on WaNPA's mission and vision, participate in guided activities, engage with expert panelists, and attend workshops!
