Connecting Art and Nature

Week of November 3, 2024 – November 9, 2024 by Anna Stunkel, Environmental Educator For many thousands of years, we humans have used art as a powerful way to connect with the natural world.

Halloween Animals

Week of October 27, 2024 – November 2, 2024 by Kaylen Iorio, Environmental Educator In honor of Halloween just a few days away, I thought we would take some time to talk about the misrepresentation of some of our animal friends in association with Halloween.

The Aurora Borealis

Week of October 20, 2024 – October 26, 2024 by Elizabeth Suzedell, Environmental Educator Did you see the northern lights last week?

Let Your Imagination Run Wild

Week of October 13, 2024 – October 19, 2024 by Katie McLaughlin, Environmental Educator Let your imagination run wild! … but how do we do that? It all starts while we are young, as our little minds are trying to figure out the world and how it works. We mimic what we know and observe in [...]

Ecosystem Connections

Week of October 6, 2024 – October 12, 2024 by Anna Stunkel, Environmental Educator Both spring and fall are exciting transitional times in the natural world around us.

Animal Tracking

Week of September 29, 2024 – October 5, 2024 by Kaylen Iorio, Environmental Educator One of my favorite things to do while exploring nature is to look around for animal tracks; the evidence of animals is all around us… if we know where to look! We don’t always need to see animals to know they have [...]

Nighttime Adventures

Week of September 15, 2024 – September 21, 2024 by Catherine McLaughlin, Environmental Educator I was the child who had those glowing stars on their ceiling as a kid because I am a little afraid of the dark. However this fact did not stop me from exploring the night. During those warm rainy nights in early [...]

Back to School

Week of September 8, 2024 – September 14, 2024 by Katie Robideau, School Programs Manager As a child, I always recognized the late summer insect “symphony” as the return to school and a sign that fall was well on the way.

New Beginnings on the Trails

Week of September 1, 2024 – September 7, 2024 by Anna Stunkel, Environmental Educator Lately, summer has been winding down and making way for fall to begin.
