Whole new worlds open up to them when children see that wetlands are teaming with life! From the macro invertebrates to the microscopic diatoms, almost 4,000 children from 43 area schools fell in love with a world they didn’t know existed. The Pat & Gill Clements Wetlands Instructor led programs throughout the school year, during our Summer Institute and Adventure Camp. In addition, Kristine led a high school program focused on the environment and water conservation and a 4th grade program investigating the kingdom protista. There were moments of SILENCE…when a green heron alighted nearby or a red-winged blackbird’s was spied. There were many more moments the children came ALIVE with their discoveries. Clearly, the natural learning environment encourages children to observe, absorb, respect and be inspired by the world around them. THANK YOU. You Have Put Wonder in Their World.

Whole new worlds open up to them when children see that wetlands are teaming with life! From the macro invertebrates to the microscopic diatoms, almost 4,000 children from 43 area schools fell in love with a world they didn’t know existed. The Pat & Gill Clements Wetlands Instructor led programs throughout the school year, during our Summer Institute and Adventure Camp. In addition, Kristine led a high school program focused on the environment and water conservation and a 4th grade program investigating the kingdom protista.

There were moments of SILENCE…when a green heron alighted nearby or a red-winged blackbird’s was spied. There were many more moments the children came ALIVE with their discoveries. Clearly, the natural learning environment encourages children to observe, absorb, respect and be inspired by the world around them.

THANK YOU.

You Have Put Wonder in Their World.
