OET members (as well as one of our “equine” members) participated in Girl Scout Education Day at the World Forestry Center in Portland. Girl Scouts and Leaders were given the opportunity to meet with OET members to learn about Leave No Trace ethics, Equine Safety, and OET. There were 550 attendees for the event. 104 OET coloring books were handed out to scouts and leaders who attended the class presentations on LNT and Approaching Horses for Beginners. Stacey Livermore taught LNT practices.
