Engineering with Nature: Teachers Explore the World of Beavers at NJSOC
October 8, 2025
Last week, teachers from across New Jersey gathered together at NJSOC for our latest professional development workshop, Beavers: Nature’s Engineers. Led by NJSOC’s Director of Education, Tanya Sulikowski, and Holly Romahn, a 4th grade teacher at Hardyston Elementary School and part-time naturalist at High Point State Park, this immersive hands-on experience gave K-12 educators the chance to explore how one small mammal has an outsized impact on our ecosystems, and how to bring that story into their classrooms
