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:Field Forestry & Climate Change Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The NJSOC is partnering with the NJ Forest Service to help educators learn about connections between forestry and climate science.\n\n\nNew Jersey is the most densely populated state in the nation but an impressive 40% of our land cover is forested. Forests are critically important resources that provide wildlife habitat\, food\, recreation\, and ecosystem services that clean our air and water\, mitigate flooding\, and sequester carbon. \nThe New Jersey School of Conservation is partnering with the New Jersey Forest Service to help educators learn about forestry. This field-based workshop will provide an opportunity for educators to work alongside foresters and researchers as we collect and interpret data from forest stands on the NJSOC campus. Participants will learn how carbon pools are calculated\, how forests are managed\, and why they are a critical part of our statewide climate change initiatives. \nEducators will leave with a deeper understanding of how field science connects to climate research\, and new resources for experiential education at their schools\, even if they only have access to a single tree! \nParticipating educators will receive a $50 stipend\, made possible through grant funding\, upon completion of the workshop. \nWe encourage workshop participants to arrive on Thursday night to alleviate the stress of Friday morning travel. \n  \n(Tentative) Workshop schedule: \nThursday\, October 10 (optional overnight) \n4:00pm- Arrive at NJSOC and settle into cabins \n5:00pm- Campus Tour & Activities \n6:00pm- BYO Dinner \n7:00pm- Canoe Paddle on Lake Wapalanne \n8:00pm- Campfire \nFriday\, October 11 \n8:00am- Breakfast Big Timbers (for overnighters) \n9:00am- Arrivals & Check In (for non overnighters) \n9:15-9:30am- Introductions\, Workshop Overview \n9:30-10:30am- NJ Forest Overview/Forest Action Plan and Climate Change Initiatives \n10:30- 11:45am- Forest Measurements & Carbon Calculation Activity \n12:00- 1:00pm- Lunch \n1:15- 2:30pm- Carbon Pool Calculation Activity \n2:45- 3:30pm- Interpretation of Data & Forests as Mitigating Tools for Climate Change \n3:30-4:00pm- Reflections\, Classroom Applications \n4:00pm- Depart NJSOC \n  \nRegistration fee for overnighters includes breakfast and lunch\, overnight accommodations in cabin-style housing and all workshop materials.
