 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Other Field Investigation Details: **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Inclement Weather **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> – Should the teacher decide to postpone the walk, he/she should contact the coordinator, who should let the volunteers and trainer know. If the teacher would like to “wait and see” and decide the day of the event, the volunteers should be given a time when the final determination will be made so that the volunteers can plan accordingly.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Appropriate Dress **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> – Although there should not be much wandering, we do recommend that children wear pants and close-toed shoes.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Feedback **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">– Please solicit feedback from your volunteers - any comments you or your volunteers have (both positive and negative) about the field investigation, the training, the materials etc. are very helpful. We value your feedback! Any feedback can either be sent to one of the Environmental Aides via email or left in the Environmental Aide Box in the front office.
