Wednesday, May 28, 6:30 p.m. at the Marquette Regional History Center
West of Ishpeming in the mid-1980s, environmental education and programming for area schools and the public could be found at the Greenwood Nature Center (GNC). Learn about the history of, and people behind, this community resource on the bank of the Greenwood Reservoir near Ishpeming. This presentation and discussion by David Kronk about the forgotten history of the nature center will feature a retrospective of the people, partnerships, and vision that brought the GNC to life.
The program will highlight the ongoing relevance of outdoor education methods for providing ecological education, community learning, and skill development, and for modeling alternative energy implementation. Done well, outdoor education provides more than just “nature programs” – it also serves by building community vision and demonstrating innovation.
This session will remind us of a lost piece of area history – and will hopefully inspire new leaders interested in re-imagining local outdoor education. Whether you experienced Greenwood Nature Center firsthand as a student, teacher, parent, or principal, or whether you’re hearing of it now for the first time, we think you’ll be glad you attended this event! Join us in looking back and imagining forward.
$5 suggested donation. For more info visit marquettehistory.org or call 906.226.3571.
