Introduction

Hello everyone, I would like to introduce the National Museum of Forest Service's Conservation Education Working group blog. The purpose of this blog is to bring together a group of voices from varying backgrounds with differing ideas and needs from a Conservation Education program in order to begin to develop a truly useful and comprehensive program that can become a valuable tool for all levels of education.

This is how it would work:

All members of the team would be given electronic permission to create new postings on this site in order to develop new ideas and suggestions. This will require all team members to take a few minutes and create a Google account.

For those of you that have not used this kind of tool, let me assure you that is extremely easy to use, and it can prove to be a tremendous tool for collaboration with a little effort.

Also, both team members, and non-team members would be able to post comments about items that are being posted.

Finally, this blog could also be a place to collect any electronic resources that we think might be helpful in developing an end product. (websites, pictures, ect.)

We are still struggling to get people signed up to be authors. Thank you to those who have introduced themselves. I would ask that those of you who have signed up, but who have not introduced themselves to go ahead and do so that we can start working amongst ourselves to start generating some ideas. -Matt

Erin O'Reilly

Hey all,
My name is Erin O'Reilly and I am a History/Political Science major working towards my Comprehensive Social Science teaching license.  I plan to teach History/Government/Geography at the High School level, once I graduate. 
I have lived in Missoula my whole life.  I am currently working for the Forest Service in the Regional Office.  Everyday I am a witness to how vital and beneficial the FS is to the community.  'Caring for the land and serving the people' is obtained through the hard work and dedication of the FS employees.  I think that educating the public on the history of the Forest Service is an excellent idea.  People should be aware of how and why things came to be, especially in a place with so many outdoor wonders. 
I love to do anything outdoors, which is why am still living in Missoula.  There are so many opportunities and activities that the utilization of land and resources has to offer.  This makes the FS so important to a place like Montana which is why I think this project is a wonderful idea!!
