bringing people and nature together
WORKSHOPS & PRESENTATIONS
Our newest presentation is based on four years of research, described in the publication, Engaging Uninvolved Audiences in Urban Forestry: It's About More Than Trees. Highlights of the presentation illustrate how individuals across the country used greening to stop crime, improve health, reduce dumping, clean up toxic soil, grow healthy food, educate youth and build stronger communities.
PLANNING AN EDUCATIONAL SCHOOL GARDEN
Connecting children with nature, right outside the classroom, yields a rich potpourri of benefits. Students gain not only an appreciation and understanding of nature, but improve social skills and teamwork. Studies in nutrition, social studies, history and sciences are easily accomplished in a garden setting. This presentation is geared for teachers, parents and others in the community who want to expand the in-class curriculum to include the surrounding campus. A school garden can be as small as a few containers and as large as the entire grounds. Learn how to plan a project geared to the unique needs of your school.
ENGAGE COMMUNITY IN YOUR GREENING PROJECT
This presentation is tailored for individuals and tree planting groups who are interested in reaching a broader, more diverse audience. Many communities across our nation could benefit from greening but are currently uninvolved in tree planting and beautification projects. Participants learn techniques for engaging new groups and expanding the impact of their greening projects.
