Building Ecological, Community, and Personal Resilience Through Nature Stories

Session Submission Type: Hands-on Presentation

Summary

What can we learn from nature to help us be more resilient? We will showcase how one coastal community has used nature stories to engage middle schoolers and communities in resilience activities & conversations. We will read stories, hear how teachers have used them, and explore how you can use them, too.
