Planting Seeds to Foster Environmental Stewards for a Better Tomorrow
“If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement, and mystery of the world we live in.” This quote by Rachel Carson highlights the important role that adults must have to nurture children’s sense of wonder about the natural world. In this session we will explore how early childhood environmental education (ECEE) has the potential to inspire children’s lifelong learning and love of nature and their affinity for taking care of it.
