Red Barn Series, Newfound Audubon
No registration necessary – just come and join us!
Speaker: Michael Weinstein, Director of Sustainability, Southern New Hampshire University
Research has shown that people who feel more connected to nature are more willing to act on behalf of it, and that effective environmental education can foster greater nature connection. But due to steady growth in distance learning, as well as events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, it is unclear how this can occur in virtual space. This talk presents novel research on the experiences of online college students during the pandemic, and how it may be possible to leverage exciting new information technology to connect people to each other and the environment.
