George Melendez Wright was a brilliant young scientist with the National Park Service back in the 1920s and 1930s. You could say he was ahead of his time, in that he wanted the Park Service to take a holistic role in how wildlife in the parks was managed. While Wright tragically left the world too young when he was killed in a car crash in 1936, his name lives on today in the George Wright Society, a nonprofit organization that is focused on stewardship of parks, protected & conserved areas, cultural sites, and other kinds of place-based conservation. Our guest today is Dave Harmon, executive director of the society. We'll be back in a minute with Dave to learn more about the society and the role it plays.

Kerry-Ann has had great success in initiating and building relationships with various environmental organizations, developing partnerships to coordinate and carry out various environmental activities as well as promoting education and community involvement in Environmental Health within her community and others. As a result of this work, Kerry-Ann has gained international recognition and has been asked to speak across Canada, the United States and Mexico in the area of indigenous perspectives on Environmental Stewardship as well as Climate Change Adaptation. Kerry-Ann’s wide range of career experiences give her a unique perspective that can be very valuable when assisting other communities wishing to find their balance of operations and environmental stewardship.

Todd Jacques and Wendy Cooper from Tides Canada join Lynn to discuss the ways in which, through an impact lens, Tides supports philanthropists and changemakers to better their communities. The conversation focuses on the importance of local involvement in place-based initiatives, and the foundation offering both an impact investing opportunity and a shared platform that allows community-led initiatives to focus on their mission while the foundation does the rest.

For the third episode in a three-part series on place-based education in science, Lab Out Loud welcomes Chris Wyland to the show. Chris is a middle school math and science teacher at the Cottonwood School of Civics and Science in Portland, where the focus of the entire school is encouraging exploration of the natural world and involvement in the local community through the arts and sciences. Continuing a discussion of place-based education in science, Chris joins co-hosts Brian Bartel and Dale Basler to explain this approach in an ecology unit where his middle school students are partnering with the Portland Parks and Recreation Department to apply their scientific knowledge to fieldwork that benefits their local community.   Show notes at: https://laboutloud.com/2018/04/episode-185-place-based-education-ecology-unit

For the second episode in a three-part series on place-based education in science, Lab Out Loud welcomes Kevin Krasnow to the show.
