Coyote Mentoring (CM) workshops focus on the 8-Shields Model, a highly effective educational approach that synthesizes age-old indigenous techniques with the benefits of 21st century technology. Developed by Jon Young and endorsed by Richard Louv, it has been utilized by a variety of organizations over the past 25 years. In this model, the focus shifts from information transmission characteristic of most Western didactic educational models, to a cultural mentoring model of “learn it, do it, model it, mentor it”, allowing nature to be the teacher. The method fosters scientific inquiry while allowing the content to be learner-driven. Contact the park for further details. Register online at
