She has a master’s degree in Environmental Education\, 7-12 Biology Teaching Certification\, and participated in Cornell University’s Civic Ecology program. \nElyse works alongside homeowners in a participatory approach to their gardening for wildlife needs\, infusing educational opportunities during the design\, installation\, and stewarding process. She invites homeowners to deeply engage with their land to maximize its potential in enhancing human well-being and supporting dwindling wildlife populations. \nLinda Ferich retired from a career in emergency and occupational health nursing in 2013 and became a Pa Master Naturalist. She coordinates the Lancaster Conservancy’s Community Wildlife Habitat program\, a partnership with National Wildlife Federation.

She and a few conservation-minded friends formed the Lancaster Native Plant Alliance\, a chapter of Pa Native Plant Society. The alliance promotes the use of native plants in all landscape settings through collaboration\, education\, and advocacy. \n \nAbout this Class\nNote\, you must have taken the prerequisite “Habitat Advocate: Building Biodiversity in our Community” prior to taking this course.

SUMMARY:"Bridging the Gap Between Climate Science and Action" with Katharine Hayhoe
DESCRIPTION:Join PCSSM for a talk from climate scientist and climate communicator Katharine Hayhoe.\n\n\nPlease join the Penn Center for Science\, Sustainability and the Media (PCSSM) and the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) for a talk from renowned climate scientist and climate communicator Dr. Katharine Hayhoe with an introduction from PCSSM Director Dr. Michael Mann. \nTalk Abstract: Scientists are often stereotyped as detached\, value-free thinkers\, yet it is often our humanity that compels us to address complex crises like climate change. The real question is not whether scientists should engage with society\, but how we can do so in ways that advance truth and\, increasingly\, justice. Drawing on social science research and her own experience\, Hayhoe will explore how engaging both minds and hearts enables science to move beyond simply informing to inspiring collective action for a better future. \n\nThis event will be in-person only in the Agora Room (first floor) in the Annenberg Public Policy Center (202 S 36th Street).
