SUMMARY:Nature Journaling: A Professional Development Workshop for K-12 Educators
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a field-based workshop where K-12 educators can learn how to incorporate nature journaling into their teaching practice!\n\n\nJournaling advances the foundation of learning through outdoor inquiry\, investigation and scientific thinking\, whether it is of trees in the forest\, birds on a pond\, spring flowers and weeds sprouting in a community garden or muddy footprints on a school playground! \nJournaling also builds all subject skills of observation\, curiosity and creativity with pictures\, words and numbers using a sketchbook and pencil.  No special scientific\, artistic or literary abilities are required to enjoy this. \nTeachers will find inspiration at the beautiful NJSOC campus in the heart of Stokes State Forest while learning how to include Nature Journaling across all curricular areas\, inside and outside the classroom.  Many skills will be shared and experienced\, including introductory journaling techniques and activities\, simple artistic elements of design\, building a sense of place\, developing scientific thinking skills and natural history concepts\, structuring observations and forming questions\, lasting memories and connections. \nLinks to NJ Standards will be provided and teachers will be excited to pass along these skills to students of all ages! \nParticipating educators will receive a $50 stipend\, made possible through grant funding\, upon completion of the workshop. \nInstructor Bio: Lois Lyons is a retired Chemistry teacher with over 35 years of experience in formal and nonformal classrooms.  This Presidential Award winning educator volunteers with the Monmouth County Park System and Retired Educators Association.  She volunteers and works at NJSOC.

SUMMARY:Native Plants 1-2-3: Plan & Plant\, Pollinators\, & Preparing for Winter
DESCRIPTION:Where are you on your Native Plant gardening journey? This three-in-one workshop offers something for everyone!\n\n\nYou want to improve your local environment and help pollinators. You’re thinking about replacing your lawn with native plants… but worried about what the neighbors will say! Master Gardener\, Barbara Rosenberg will share techniques that can disguise the real intent of the new garden where lawn used to be\, and suggest native plants that lend themselves to “keeping up appearances”. \nYou’re probably familiar with the relationship between Monarch butterflies and milkweed and are ready to expand your knowledge of the pollinators your garden is helping. From the generalists to the specialists\, SOC Environmental Educator\, Aliza Kawecki\, will introduce you to some of the plants in our “Frog Hollow” pollinator garden and their fascinating relationships with the pollinators they support. \nAnd where do those pollinators go in the winter? We often forget how crucial late fall\, winter\, and early spring care of our garden spaces is to overwintering creatures large and small. Dr Randi Eckel\, owner and founder of Toadshade Wildflower Farm and current vice president (and past president) of the Native Plant Society of New Jersey\, will discuss how (and where!) wildlife overwinters\, and how to manage our spaces to support and protect the creatures we attract to our gardens through all twelve months of the year. \nIf you wish\, pack a lunch and stay to chat informally after the workshop with your new friends and our presenters. A great way to make lasting connections with like-minded people! \nRefund Policy: \nYour event fee\, minus Eventbrite Fees\, is fully refundable if cancelled 7 or more days before the event. In the case of a multi-day event\, you must cancel 7 or more days before the first day of the event. No partial refunds are given if you cannot attend all days of the event.While we appreciate being notified if you are unable to attend an event\, refunds are not given for cancellations within 7 days of the event. \nFor events that are weather-dependent\, a raindate/reschedule date is included in the event description. We do not offer refunds if an event is rescheduled for the specified date. If we must cancel an event\, your registration fee\, including Eventbrite fees\, will be refunded.
