SUMMARY:iNaturalist: A Tool for Exploration and Citizen Science. The Field Edition!
DESCRIPTION:Spend the day exploring Merrill Creek Reservoir with like-minded educators! \nGet out into the field with other educators who are excited to use iNaturalist! Workshops will be held around the forests\, meadows and streams at the NJ School of Conservation and Merrill Creek Reservoir. Educators will learn valuable tips for taking students outdoors and will work together to complete team challenges. Sign up for just one or join us for both! \nThis workshop will be led by Tanya Sulikowski\, former faculty member at the NJSOC who is currently the Environmental Specialist at Merrill Creek Reservoir and Evangelina Pena\, Science Teacher at Gill St. Bernard. \nWorkshops are limited to 25 participants and current CDC recommendations will be followed during these events. Participants should bring a bagged lunch. All program fees support the NJ School of Conservation. \nThe Friends of the New Jersey School of Conservation is a U.S. tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. When NJSOC closed in July 2020\, the Friends launched a campaign to save it. This ultimately led to negotiations with the NJ Department of Environmental Protection\, owners of NJSOC\, to obtain an interim management agreement for the School. This agreement was finalized in April 2021\, and the Friends of NJSOC are proud to offer limited programming at NJSOC with the help of dedicated and talented volunteers. We are pleased to register you for one of our programs!

SUMMARY:Good Heavens! Astronomy Night at NJSOC
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a magical night of stargazing as the 2021 Perseids Meteor Shower peaks in the skies above NJSOC.\n\n\nStokes State Forest and the NJSOC are home to some of New Jersey’s darkest night skies. The low level of light pollution makes it possible to see astronomical features not visible in other parts of the state. Join Rob Teeter\, of Pearl Observatory\, as we observe the wonders of the universe through his BIG telescope. Here’s your chance to see craters on the moon\, star clusters\, nebula\, learn constellations\, take a Star Tour\, AND view the annual Perseids Meteor Shower with friends under the Milky Way. Rob\, an environmental scientist\, is a life-long astronomer having first caught the “star bug” at 9 years old. He is a telescope maker\, having sold more than 200 scopes all around the world\, and is an instructor with Pearl Observatory. \nRegistration is required and Eventbrite tickets will be collected at the gate for entrance to this family event. There is no registration fee for children under 5 years old. The gate will open at 7:30 PM and you can enjoy the company of fellow guests around a campfire while you wait for it to get dark (bring your own marshmallows). Please bring chairs or blankets\, bug spray\, and flashlights (red or green cellophane over your flashilights will help preserve everyones’ night vision.) \nIn case of rain or heavy cloud cover\, the event will be postponed to Saturday\, August 14th. \nThe Friends of the New Jersey School of Conservation is a U.S. tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization.

SUMMARY:Wild Edibles Information Walk
DESCRIPTION:Wild edibles: nutrition\, gastronomy\, survival and fun science\n\n\nJumpstart a foraging habit for your soups\, stews\, salads\, pestos and fritters.  Your program leader\, Joanne White\, will lead you on a hike to discuss and take photos of whatever is available in woods and meadow-like areas.  Although this is not an eating event\, lots of follow-up information will be available including an email with photos and descriptions of items covered on the walk.  There will be references to dichotomous keys\, books\, nutrition\,  safety\, ethics\, gastronomy\, survival and fun science. Joanne is a former science teacher with over 40 years of teaching experience\, and decades of enjoying wild edibles.  \nThis program is for older teens (age 16 and up) and adults. Registration is REQUIRED. Please dress for the weather\, with rain gear or an umbrella in case of light rain. You will need your camera (or phone)! Heavy rain will postpone event to October 2.  \n\n\nThe Friends of the New Jersey School of Conservation is a U.S. tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization.

SUMMARY:Teaching Climate Change in Non-Science Classrooms\, Grades 6-12
DESCRIPTION:Ready or not… Learn how (and why) to meet the new climate change standards in your non-science classroom and have fun doing it!\n\n\nReady or not… Learn how (and why) to meet the new climate change standards in your non-science classroom and have fun doing it! \nReady to teach climate change? This program is designed to support non-science teachers in grades 6-12 in incorporating the new climate change standards into your already-tight curricula. We will model an interdisciplinary and participatory approach that reflects the pedagogies of inclusion and equity in formal and informal learning environments. This workshop will help you understand the basic science of how climate change occurs and the way it affects society differently. The causes and effects of climate change will be explored through art\, literature\, and other media\, as well as an easy nature hike. Workshop activities will take place both indoors and outdoors (rain or shine) on the beautiful campus of the New Jersey School of Conservation. Whether you teach in a classroom or in an informal setting\, you will gain skills and strategies to enable you to address this important issue. Follow up support will be provided! \nYour instructors are  Liz Carletta and Rae Cade. \n Liz is a formal and informal science educator. She has taught environmental/conservation education at Jenkinson’s Aquarium and the Bergen County Zoo\, as well as high school biology and forensic science in Newark\, NJ. Liz earned her MAT from Montclair State University (certified K-12 biology and students with disabilities teacher) and is currently pursuing a PhD in Teacher Education and Teacher Development. Her research interests include the partnerships between formal and informal educators and education\, teaching with an equity lens\, and science teacher retention. \nRae Cade is a doctoral student and teaching assistant  at Montclair State University in the Environmental Science and Management  department. She has a Bachelor’s  degree from William Paterson University where she double majored in Earth Science and Anthropology and a Master’s  degree in Sustainability Science from Montclair State University. While her thesis explored the beliefs and perceptions of climate change and sustainability amongst millennials who are non-environmental science majors\,  her current research focuses on the interactions between water quality and environmental racism. \nThe Friends of the New Jersey School of Conservation is a U.S. tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. When NJSOC closed in July 2020\, the Friends launched a campaign to save it. This ultimately led to negotiations with the NJ Department of Environmental Protection\, owners of NJSOC\, to obtain an interim management agreement for the School.
