There are many facets to environmental education

I don't do environmental education the way I used to. I no longer participate in educational events as a vendor, create activities, write about botanical art, prepare museum presentations, or travel with my bookstore.

I do, though, continue to interview people about their work, conduct research, create resources I hope are helpful, and bring attention to what people do to connect the public to the natural world.

Thanks to technology, we are each our own production company. Transferable Solutions functions as my media system. It is my home base and where I reframe how people relate to environmental education. Environmental educators do more than nature tours, leaf rubbings, and work with kids, even though stock imagery might lead you to assume otherwise.

Environmental educators are science communicators. They work with gateway communities, municipalities, researchers, state and federal agencies, and the private sector. They might do their work under a different title, but environmental education is what they do. After all, not everyone identifies with the label "environmental educator." 

What type of cross-sector work have you been involved in over the years?

What type are you doing now?

I am having 25-minute calls with practitioners.

Let's talk.
