Puppetry in Environmental Education

3/12/2015

5 Comments

 
Yesterday I attended the Massachusetts Environmental Education Society (M.E.E.S.) Conference in Worcester. It was inspiring and informative plus an opportunity to connect with so many like-minded people. I set up my entire staging for "Turtle's Wetland Quest" as an exhibit and had many good conversations about the effectiveness of puppetry when teaching just about anything. There were several impressive young students who have become leaders in their schools and towns for projects such as composting cafeteria scraps and starting a campaign to stop "idling" (of sitting vehicles) In this picture the puppets are being held by one of them and interacting with another exhibitor.

    Thanks for stopping in! 
    Since I am as interested in nature as I am in puppetry, my thoughts here will be about both.  My old house in a little neighborhood along the river provide me with daily opportunities for enjoying nature. I have a garden,two apple trees (which I love to climb and prune) plus a bit more lawn than I'd like.  I plant various shrubs and things to create pathways. From the back of my studio I can look almost directly down at the river. There is almost always someone paddling by; Mr Beaver, Ms Muskrat, The Otter twins- Nellie and MInnie, plus lots of ducks and geese - and the occasional human.
