SUMMARY:Nature by the Book: The NJSOC Book Club... Summer Session
DESCRIPTION:Our book club is back with a new title!\n\n\nJoin us as we read together The Nature Fix by Florence Williams. \n“For centuries\, poets and philosophers extolled the benefits of a walk in the woods: Beethoven drew inspiration from rocks and trees; Wordsworth composed while tromping over the heath; Nikola Tesla conceived the electric motor while visiting a park. Intrigued by our storied renewal in the natural world\, Florence Williams sets out to uncover the science behind nature’s positive effects on the brain. From forest trails in Korea to islands in Finland to groves of eucalyptus in California\, Williams investigates the science at the confluence of environment\, mood\, health\, and creativity. Delving into completely new research\, she uncovers the powers of the natural world to improve health\, promote reflection and innovation\, and ultimately strengthen our relationships. As our modern lives shift dramatically indoors\, these ideas – and the answers they yield – are more urgent than ever.” \nParticipants will read at their own pace\, with an opportunity to discuss virtually using the Heylo app . You’ll receive weekly discussion points to ponder that will guide our group conversation. We’ll meet to discuss the book face-to-face on Saturday\, August 16th at the School of Conservation from 10:30 to noon. This meeting will also include an outdoor activity related to our reading. \nHigh School students and up are welcome to join. Please register by June 22nd; we’ll officially begin on Monday\, June 23rd. Participants will receive addtional instructions via email (don’t forget to monitor the email address you use to register!).

SUMMARY:CCLC Professional Development Workshop: Climate Change’s Impact on Health
DESCRIPTION:Climate change has led to an increase in human exposure to heat waves\, forest fires\, storms\, droughts and infectious disease vectors\, with consequences to human health and communities. Our morning “Coffee and Climate Science” presentation will explore the impacts of and solutions for NJ residents. Afternoon field activities will provide tools for students and teachers to experience the restorative power of our natural resources- from a single tree to an entire forest. Educators will leave with materials to turnkey lessons back to any classroom setting that will help them in turn focus on their own communities. \nView tentative agenda \nRegister here or use the link below!

SUMMARY:CCLC Professional Development Workshop: Climate Change’s Impact on Climate Justice
DESCRIPTION:New Jersey defines “environmental justice communities” by three criteria: presence in a community of concern; the presence of disproportionate environmental and public health stressors; and the absence or lack of environmental and public health benefits. Our morning “Coffee and Climate Science” presentation will explore the impacts and solutions for some of our home state’s key environmental issues. Afternoon field activities will focus on a dive into some of NJ’s most vulnerable communities and the stakeholders that are impacted. Educators will leave with materials to turnkey lessons back to any classroom setting. \nView tentative agenda \nRegister here or use the link below!

SUMMARY:Nature Zen Tangle Drawing Workshop and Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we learn about this meditative drawing method.\n\n\nZen Tangles are an easy-to-learn\, relaxing\, and fun artform in which you use structured patterns to create beautiful images. The designs are non-representational and unplanned. There is no up or down to Zen Tangle art. You don’t need to know what a tangle is going to look like to draw it. The result is always a delightful surprise! \nIn this workshop\, we’ll learn the principles of Zen Tangles and practice drawing the basic patterns. We will then go for a walk and draw inspiration from nature to make our own Tangles and designs. Back inside\, we will practice our Zen Tangles\, share our creations\, and enjoy this calming kickoff to the weekend. \nNo artistic skill is necessary! All materials will be provided and you will leave with supplies to continue to practice your art at home. Light snacks will be provided. \nThis workshop is for artists age 18 and up; 12 and up are welcome with an adult. Everyone is an artist!
