How We Connect to Nature with Dr. Nicolette Cagle
We connect to nature in a variety of ways – intellectually, sensorially, emotionally, and spiritually, according to Duke University’s Dr. Nicolette Cagle. In this interactive Zoom presentation, she will help us, as participants, discover and characterize our own connections to nature and how we all can share those connections with others.
Be prepared to respond to points made in this NCNPS Zoom program April 6, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. led by an an ecologist, naturalist, and environmental educator with over 20 years experience connecting people to nature in a variety of contexts, including education programs, summer camps, citizen science programs, and formal classroom settings.

She has published her research on nature connect in the Journal of STEM Education, Environmental Education Research, and the Journal of College Science Teaching.
