While the dough rises and bakes you’ll be building a birdhouse using hand-powered workworking tools. \nYour enthusiastic volunteer leaders for this workshop are Robin Anderson (bread baking) and Tom Card (woodworking). Robin has taught numerous middle school students the art and science of yeasted bread baking. Tom retired after 32 years as a Ranger in the NJ State Park service and was an environmental educator at NJSOC from 2006 till 2020. \nThis workshop is open to individual adults\, couples\, and to children (ages 11 and up) with an adult partner. Each participant/pair will complete one birdhouse and bake one loaf of bread to take home at the end of the session.. \n \n\n\nThe Friends of the New Jersey School of Conservation is a U.S. tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization.

This program is designed to support science teachers in grades 6-12 in incorporating the new climate change standards into your already-tight curricula. This workshop will help you understand how climate change occurs and the ways it affects society\, and individual members of society\, differently. We will explore phenomenon- and inquiry-based methods to meet New Jersey’s climate change standards using an interdisciplinary and participatory approach that reflects the pedagogies of inclusion and equity in formal and informal learning environments. Workshop activities will include climate change modeling\, an interpretive hike\, water quality assessment (by land and/or canoe)\, and analyzing and interpreting data. We’ll be working 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 at a grade-appropriate level. 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. \n\n\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 workshop includes a slideshow\, walk and hands-on activity.\n\n\nPlanting for Pollinators\n \nHave you always wanted to plant a garden that attracts butterflies and other pollinators? Join us for a special workshop at the NJSOC to get you started. We’ll begin with a short slideshow to teach you the basics of gardening with native plants and their benefits to butterflies. Then\, we’ll take a walk to look for interesting plants on campus and discuss some keys for identification. The final part of the workshop will be a hands-on session where you’ll practice an inexpensive and fun technique called “Winter Sowing” to start native plants from seed. All participants will receive a variety of native plant seeds and will create mini-greenhouses to take home. \nThis workshop will be faciliated by Barbara Rosenberg a longtime Master Gardener and Tanya Sulikowski an enthusiastic educator and ecologist. \n\n\nThe Friends of the New Jersey School of Conservation is a U.S. tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization.

Do you enjoy learning new crafts? Does history intrigue you? Then this program is for you! Hand spindle spinning has been practiced since ancient times and is still relevant today. You will learn how to choose wool\, prepare it for spinning and then spin it into a beautiful yarn in NJSOC’s historic DeGroat Cabin. \nYour instructor is Rosanna Lovecchio\, a lifelong fiber artist who has been knitting since the age of 10. A member of the North Country Spinners\, Rosanna started spinning her own yarn about 10 years ago\, as well as weaving. She believes “There is nothing more satisfying than taking a mass of fiber and turning it into something beautiful.” \nThis workshop is open to teens (age 13 and up) and adults\, and is limited to 10 participants. Participants under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult. \nIf you have any difficulty with the registration process\, please let us know so we can help!

And that’s just the beginning!\n\n\nFall is the perfect time to gather around the campfire with friends for some not-too-scary stories. Popular storyteller Ken Karnas will be our featured speaker at this Night-Before-Halloween event. Throughout his 42-year teaching career\, Ken used stories to enhance every academic area he taught. In addition to using storytelling in the classroom\, Ken has shared his tales with audiences of all ages in libraries\, museums\, parks\, and now at NJSOC’s Piney Point fire circle. \nFollowing the storytelling\, you’re invited to join former Park Ranger and NJSOC Educator\, Tom Card\, for a not-at-all-scary night hike. Discover the beauty of Stokes State Forest by moonlight and learn about some of its residents who are active at night on this easy hike along a cleared path. \nOr\, if you prefer\, bring some marshmallows and hang out at the campfire\, or head over to the corral for some stargazing on your own. \nCome just for the campfire and stories (about 30-40 minutes)\, or stay longer and enjoy the SOC “nightlife”. It’s up to you! \nThis program is open to adults and families with children of any age. Registration is required. In case of inclement weather\, we’ll move the storytelling indoors and hike as planned as long as the rain isn’t heavy. \nIf you have any difficulty with the registration process\, please let us know so we can help!
