Description:

with Author Jacob Rodenburg

The average child spends more than 7.5 hours in front of a glowing screen and less than 20 minutes per day in unstructured outdoor play. They are more likely to remember the names of dozens of corporate logos than to be able to recognize even just a few local plants, birds, and mammals. In this interactive workshop, award-winning educator and author Jacob Rodenburg will offer up examples of fun, hands-on strategies for reconnecting children to nature. We’ll dance like bees, follow scent trails, design micro-trails, sing like frogs, create beautiful nature art, learn how to become a bird “whisperer”, and more! Jacob will offer up creative ideas on how to nurture stewards – children who care for each other and the Earth we all share.
