Examining Nature through Inquiry, Observation, and Creative Play

Examining Nature through 

Inquiry, Observation, and Creative Play

November 15, 2012

Presenter: Wren Smith, Interpretive Programs Manager, Bernheim Arboretum

How can we create trainings and programs that help visitors connect more fully to the flora and fauna, and other life forms, at our sites? What are the questions we can ask and the simple things we can do, to uncover the stories, and witness the dynamic relationships often hidden around us? This interactive session, designed especially for natural history interpreters and those who train them, will include inquiry strategies, observational opportunities, as well as creative play activities that can translate into programs that help others connect more deeply with the natural world.

Wren is a Certified Interpretive Trainer and a frequent contributor for Legacy Magazine.
