• In Event: Research Poster Session

Session Submission Type: Research Poster

Summary

How a college fly fishing course aided students’ connection to nature was examined through semi-structured interviews. Findings show students had diverse connection to nature outcomes. Nature-based field trips to local waterways and social experiences furthered students’ connection to nature, which also increased nature appreciation and gateway behaviors to pro-environmental behaviors.
