This week is Climate Week, and today the Nature Ce This week is Climate Week, and today the Nature Center is celebrating with "Meatless Monday." 🌱🥦🥬 Fight climate change by eating more plants, start with Meatless Monday! Shifting towards a more plant-based diet can help preserve land and water resources and slow the acceleration of climate change. In addition to the environmental impacts, reducing meat consumption also reduces the global burden of chronic preventable diseases. Try incorporating "Meatless Monday" meals into your weekly routine!

We 💚 our Educators. September is Educator Appre We 💚 our Educators. September is Educator Appreciation month and today we're showing love to our Naturalist, Noah! "An educator who really inspired me is my high school AP Environmental Science teacher. Her style resonated with me as it was more then just reading and essay writing. She made learning engaging and fun by using different strategies and techniques throughout her curriculum. Now, as an educator myself, I love the challenge of trying to make programming engaging for everyone. Watching a group of mixed ages and backgrounds all getting something out of a program is extremely fulfilling!" Check our website for a special promotion for educators who book programs in September!
We 💚 our Educators. September is Educator Appre We 💚 our Educators. September is Educator Appreciation month and today we're showing love to our Naturalist, Danielle! . "Being an educator is really important to me because when I was younger, I struggled with traditional classroom learning. The most lasting educational experiences for me were always the hands-on, interactive experiences like we offer here at the Nature Center. I've been strongly influenced by many educators, including my 5th grade teacher, Ms. Menzies. She saw potential in me when I didn't see it in myself. I wouldn't be where I am today without their help and motivation." Check out website for a special promotion for educators who book programs in September!
