Environmental Education (EE)
In 1972 The UN Conference on the Human Environment called for:
“the development of environmental education as one of the most critical elements of an all-out attack on the world’s environmental crisis.”
Deepening our relation with and understanding of the earth will help ensure a thriving planet for generations to come. We need this more than ever.
Erin is passionate about sharing her love of the Earth with others.
She is an Certified Professional Environmental Educator with over six years of experience leading, coordinating, and developing experiential EE programs. Her recent work has focused on developing guiding and foundational documents for EE initiatives.
Contributions to the Field
Regional EE Networks: A How-To Guide
As a contractor for the Kentucky Environmental Education Council, Erin served as the primary author of this extensive guidebook designed to help individuals and organizations form and sustain local regional environmental education networks. It includes the story of the Clark County EE Network, which Erin helped to form and for which she currently serves as the facilitator.
“An Investigation of the Need for and Availability of Environmental Education and Outdoor Recreation in Clark County, Kentucky”
As an applied professional master’s project, Erin conducted an in-depth needs assessment to increase the scope and reach of EE in the county and inform program development for a new park. The results were presented to and benefited several local organizations and led to the development of the state’s first county-wide EE group.
Music and EE
People are more drawn to EE programs that incorporate live music.
Music has a powerful ability to emotionally affect listeners and define experiences, which deepens learning and engagement.
Erin strives to integrate her music with nature experiences and environmental education initiatives for adults and children.
Please reach out if you are an organization or an individual who would like to work with Erin on crafting a musical learning experience or an EE fundraising event.
