This year-long journey into planting urban pocket forest education sites is designed to energize your imagination and empathize with your challenges. As we journey together, we’ll name the obstacles to urban forest teaching and learn to leverage our unique differences of doing nature studies in an inner-city, urban, or suburban context.
1. Cohort will identify and reflect on the ideological challenges found in the urban forest school context.
2. Cohort will collaborate to create strategies for overcoming logistical obstacles when conducting nature play programming in an urban context.
3. Cohort will recognize the social issues present when conducting forest and nature education in an urban setting and generate action plans to meet these contexts.
