September 11, 2019Nature Writing
The problem most students seem to have is that they see nature as “Other.” Nature is a tourist destination, a place on the map, something saved by buying and selling crunchy candy. They rarely understand that they themselves might actually be a part of it.
— Christian McEwen and Mark Statman
The Alphabet of the Trees: A Guide to Nature Writing is a collection of essays written by nature writers, poets, fiction writers, and educators. Editors Christian McEwen and Mark Statman published this book for teachers because they wanted to change how the subject of nature is approached in the classroom.
To view a list of contributors and the activities they write about, view the show notes for this episode at Talaterra.com.

August 28, 2019Dr. Rupu Gupta, Building Community, Part 2
To download the card sorting activity and instructor guide, visit the show notes for this episode.
This week we return to our conversation with Dr. Rupu Gupta, conservation psychologist at New Knowledge Organization whose research focuses on inclusion and equity in the environmental field.
Last week, Dr. Gupta talked about community building. Part of our conversation centered around the paper “Practitioners’ perspectives on the purpose of environmental education.”
If you read this paper, it becomes clear that the field of environmental education (EE) is struggling to answer the question, “What’s it for?”
Today we take a brief look at this paper. In this paper, Dr. Gupta and her colleagues answer this big question:
How do North American environmental education practitioners (both from formal and non-formal institutions) think about their work?

August 14, 2019Cultivating Naturalists
How do you cultivate a naturalist?
I landed on this question because while walking past the window of my independent bookstore, I saw the book The Not-So Great Outdoors by author and illustrator Madeline Kloepper.
It is a story about a young girl who is dreading her family’s upcoming camping trip. She wants nothing to do with nature and thinks nature is dirty and that there is nothing to do out there. She spends a good part of the story being grumpy and wanting to go home.
But then something changed her mind. You’ll have to get the book to find out what it was.
I read this book in the store before buying it. After leaving the store I began to wonder…
How does interest in nature develop?
What factors contribute to developing this interest?
Today we consider the findings of an investigation into how interest in the natural world can be developed.
What can educators in informal learning environments do to facilitate an interest in nature?
Let’s find out.
