4. Seed sprouting in cups event for every student in the school.

5. Teacher training: 10 easy outdoor lessons for the classroom.

Rebecca has also delivered training for schools, nonprofits, and corporations, and is also host of the video series, Get Out of the House, which shows fun ideas for time outside in every season. In 2012, Rebecca was a finalist for the Outdoor Inspiration Award, presented by adidas Outdoor.
