    In the book, “Last Child in the Woods”, talks about how children need to be aware of their surroundings on a day-to-day basis and their environments. Many children experience their skills inside and outside the classroom. In my opinion, in today’s society we are teaching young educators to avoid any direct interaction in nature. Richard Louv begins her book by stating the importance of nature inside the classroom. As a future educator, I believe that the ultimate message is delivered in schools, within families, and outside organizations who devote time outdoors. Educators should know the significant as children develop fine and gross motor skill through play and communication with…

    The United States Army uses vast expanses of land to do their military training; however, there are rules in place witch focus on the environmental stewardship of the land they use. It has been noted, “The US Army has a sophisticated system for the protection and restoration of training lands (integrated training area management) which, it would no doubt contend, reduces the impacts of live training or restores land to good heart. (Doxford, Judd, 2002, p. 262).…

    The responsibility of all the participants is to ensure the environment remains unmarked by industrial intrusion. Taking into account the disturbance of such a fragile ecosystem and the availability of vast amounts of natural resources. The preservation of the animals habitat needs to have the same value as the extraction of natural resources. Both sides are looking to do the right thing so they must both be willing to listen to each other to formulate a plan. The program needs to take the landscape and wildlife into account, as well as the necessities of the natural gas industry. The need to eliminate the human footprint is paramount.…

    Visiting one of the most significant features on the UC Davis campus, Putah Creek represents the university’s ability and effort to improve wildlife conservation on campus. After observing 12 different stops on a three-mile long trip of Putah Creek, the average score I calculated as part of the university’s sustainability program is 1.83 on a scale of zero to three. This is a score that I expected from a university dedicated to sustainability and conservation, but there is room for improvement. In order to improve this score and balance high/low scores the university should have some areas reserved strictly for wildlife conservation (off limits to the public) and other areas visible to the public that remain interactive. Five of the 12…

    The work on urban nature is a subset of the relational turn in cultural geography that moves away from modern dichotomies between subject and object, or artificial and natural and, instead emphasizes the linkages and relations that knit our world of interdependent systems together”, ( Andrew Karvonen, Ken Yocom, p. 1305. 2011 ). I too, believe that civic environmentalism is a vehicle for enacting relational ontology of urban nature. In addition, the relationship between non-government organizations (NGO) and civic environmentalism compliments each other. With attention to the fact that NGO’s have played a significant role in establishing grass roots methods of environmental protection while incorporating citizen involvement. With the most popular being ones that rally public opinion and advocative legislative and social change. Public interest groups can be found everywhere and more of them keep popping up. One of my favorite is The Sierra Club. I am a firm believer that public education and involvement are key components to the success of these organizations. NGO’s have the ability to have a profound impact on how natural resources are managed and how an area is developed. The Puyallup Watershed initiative is extremely important in a state like ours, because we have dense forests and an abundant…

    As a second, and soon to be third year student at Augustana College, I have already been able to immerse myself in a number of classes within my interest fields of Environmental Studies and Geography. The Anthropocene is no new topic among these classes, especially in Geography. We study the Anthropocene as a very real presence in our world and acknowledge the harmful effects on our environment occurring within this geological age. I have studied some of these effects directly in my environmental sustainability classes where we address solutions to ecological and environmental change as well as in soil science classes where I specifically researched the effect on and interaction between climate change and soils. Augustana is nestled in the heart of the Upper Mississippi Valley, so I have had many opportunities to learn and research within this region which has become a second home to me.…

    Learning Outside

    I agree with the premise of this article completely. I have found that in general education classrooms, teachers and students very rarely go outside to engage in the environment to learn science content. I know that when I was in elementary school we were able to go outside more and do science experiments outside, etc. and this helped me so much. I have also seen that in my special education classroom that my kids benefit from going outside and learning the content out there. They see that I truly love the outdoors and this definitely rubbed off on them like Marcum-Dietrich talked about. If I hated the outdoors and never wanted to go out there then my students most likely would not like the outdoors either. If I didn't touch bugs and show them it was alright to do that then they probably would be afraid of them.…
