Being A Naturalist in the 21st Century: Ephemeral Environmental Education-Making the Most Out of Brief Interactions
Our goal for this webinar was to share ideas and inspiration for how to engage people in the environment during brief activities – from a few minutes to a couple of hours. Join us as four naturalists share their stories on bright spots of environmental education including what really worked and how they navigated thorny challenges.
Being a Naturalist in the 21st Century: Community science as a tool for 21st century naturalists
Panelists Nicole Jackson (Environmental Educator), Nichole Schill (Community Education Coordinator, Medina County Park District), and Robyn Bailey (Project Leader, NestWatch) share their personal and professional journeys to connecting community science with the natural world, what has helped them, and their vision for the future.
