Science, Art, and the World Around Us
About us:
Thank you for visiting our website! We’re so glad you’re here. We are currently developing new projects to offer to our community, to foster our role as stewards of our environment.
This last summer, we ran our Bird Conservation Summer Camp. We thoroughly enjoyed building up the program and sharing the week with our students. We built this initiative through collaboration and community, with support from local educators, artists, scientists, and neighbors who share our belief in learning that is curious, inclusive, and deeply connected to the world around us.
Native to Central Pennsylvania’s rich forests, the Trillium plant is an example of community and interdependence. Trilliums thrive with the support of their whole ecosystem: they rely on the fertile soil, built by the towering trees above it, benefit from mycorrhizae (underground fungal networks), and depend on ants for seed dispersal.
Just like the Trillium, we have our roots in Central Pennsylvania, we flourish thanks to support of our larger community and the individual efforts that help us extend out reach. And just like the Trillium distinctive three petals, our work is built upon three core principles that form our foundation:
Education
Environment
Equity.
