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.)

Hi, I finally figured out how to get to the place where I could post a short bio as seems to be the custom. I'm exceedingly new to the whole internet thing so it has taken me longer than it should have. One of my reasons for joining is that I'm the chairperson of the Museum's Forest Service Cnservation Legacy Education Committee. We are building the overall conservation education program for the Museum. Before retiring I worked for the F.S .desigining and implemening conservation education programs regionally and then nationally. (And then back to a Region in Public Affairs.) Before all of that I was a teacher and school administrator most of the time as a conservation ed specialist. The Committee is very interested in what the BLOG can do and we are anxious to see how things are going. We want to help with the BLOG if at all possible
