According to the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bea.gov\/news\/2023\/outdoor-recreation-satellite-account-us-and-states-2022\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. Department of Commerce\u2019s Bureau of Economic Analysis<\/a>, Maine&#8217;s outdoor recreation economy generates more than $3 billion annually and the state ranks in the top 10 nationally in terms of the percentage of its gross domestic product that comes from outdoor industries. The sector is particularly important for the sustainability of rural communities. Maine needs a skilled cadre of stewards, educators and outdoor guides to lead groups knowledgeably, ethically and safely on trips in our wilderness and natural resources. The 15-credit Outdoor Leadership and Education graduate certificate at the University of Maine is designed to provide students with a combination of hands-on practices and theory to help facilitate meaningful, high-quality outdoor learning opportunities for participants of all ages. The curriculum is focused on the professional knowledge and field experiences needed for anyone interested in successfully incorporating more experiential and place-based learning into settings such as PK-12 schools, as well as post-secondary and adult education.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-wrap.wp-block-kadence-rowlayout.kb-row-layout-id23140_26845e-0c{margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:30px;}.kb-row-layout-id23140_26845e-0c >
