Welcome to Nature Notes!

My goal is to spark our natural curiosity for learning and promote opportunities to engage our senses and find more balance in our daily lives. Connecting with nature offers countless benefits for all of us!

I launched Nature Education Opportunities in May of 2021 to provide interactive programming for people of all ages who are interested in learning more about our incredible natural world and discovering the joys of nature. As a certified elementary educator and certified wellness coach, many of my programs incorporate creative nature-themed activities and mindfulness components and exercises. https://www.natureeducationopportunities.com/

I designed the format of Nature Notes to give quick tips and information you can use in many settings, such as your workplace, school, or home.

Each month will feature the following categories:

Wellness with Nature: Simple, quick, and effective tips and techniques to destress, engage your senses, and increase your energy and sense of well-being. These easy strategies can also be shared with children and youth.

Nature Fun Facts: Each month features seasonally relevant animal and plant pictures with natural history information to keep you connected to what is happening in our natural world-and why!

Educator Activities: Fun and easy nature-themed lesson ideas to incorporate into your teaching, whether it’s for your classroom or your own family.

What’s New at NEO: New programs and educational opportunities to support you and your organization, including monthly budget-friendly specials!

Until next month,

Kelly Dwyer
