I 4 t r Preface The number of nature centers and relatedtypes of environ- mental education facilitiescontinues to expand at an in- creasing rate both in the United States and,Canada. In the first revision of the Directory, whichwas published in. 1969, there were 356 facilities listed. ,In the second revision,.publphed in 1971, there were 459 facilities. rnithe present' revision, there are 558 facilities, in- cluding 41 for,Canada,.a gripwth of approximately 22%. Among.the,reasons for the increase in the number of these facilities are the following: concern with environmental pollution,, disappearance of open green space in and aroUnd, urban areas, realization of the finite dapabity(ofour natural,resoUrces, and growing awareness of the inter- relatedness of 011 living things. HopAully, the,encour- agement and.guidande provided the nature centers. movement by the National Audubon Society's Nature Center Planning Division has also been instrumental in tufluending this rapid growth. One OE-the most effective-ways to stimulate'an appreciation of man's relationships with his environment is through the creation of the 4propriate facilities where people have the opportunity for intimate contact with the naturalen- vironment.Regardless .of whether these facilities 'are called nature centers, cOnservation.education.cepters, en-q vironmental edueation.centers, outdoor resident schools,. outdoor school laboratories, outdoor. education areasor wildlife preserves and sanctuaries, they`all have a unifying purpose, i.e.,.to foster a betterunderstanding of man's place in the ecological community. lo This Directory is part of a continuing effort to'indentify those facilities,which are actively involved in env'non- . mental education. It is designed for use as a guid by the /- casual visitor as well as tlie professional person. Hopefully, it.will stimulate visi linterest in nature cente s, improve communication, among the various facilities and en =age the r) f development of new and better facilities. The entries consist of data abstracted from a questionnaire de,pigneby.the N.gture Center .Planning Division staff. Limitations of time and finanded-have dictated the format of this Directory so that only a brief cription of each facility is given. Facilities are listed alphabatically by state or province' and community'. Individual entries" contain the name, (adre- telephone number and the organization' which is sponsiblefor-its operation and maintenance. *here therd is no organiiation listed,it is implicit in:the nape of the facility.

    Project Learning Tree Correlation for the Sites in the New Jersey Wildlife Viewing Guide

    Using Project Learning Tree and Project WILD at sites described in the New Jersey Wildlife Viewing Guide The New Jersey Wildlife Viewing Guide describes 87 of the most interesting places in New Jersey from a wildlife habitat standpoint. Many of these sites offer exciting, educationally-stimulating programs that focus on local wildlife, natural and cultural history at a reasonable price. At sites without an interpretive program you can create your own natural history program by using activities from Project Learning Tree and Project WILD. This document gives some suggestions for activities you can use at the various sites. Be sure to call the phone number listed in the Viewing Guide for each site to verify bus parking and other particulars, and to avoid scheduling conflicts. Project Learning Tree correlations begin on page 2; Project WILD on page 8. The key of site numbers begins on page 11. Sponsored by N.J.

    Canaveral National Seashore Greening Charrette January 18-20, 2005 Titusville, Florida Executive Summary Canaveral National Seashore comprises 58,000 acres with 24 miles of undisturbed beaches as well as sand dunes, a diverse and productive estuary, hammocks of oaks with Spanish moss, and busy waterways. It is home to 1,045 species of plants and 310 species of birds; 14 wildlife species are federally listed as endangered or threatened. There are also sites of historic and archeological significance. Park visitation is 1.5 million annually. Users of the park include beach enthusiasts, recreational fishers, pleasure boaters, canoers and kayakers, and hikers as well as commercial fishing enterprises. Canaveral operates in close partnership with NASA’s Kennedy Space Center and the Fish and Wildlife Service’s Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. The park has undertaken a number of greening activities, including use of green products and materials, recycling, adaptive reuse of structures, an alternatively fueled vehicle, a green team, and preparation of an Environmental Management System. Issues identified by the park for further work include water quality, impacts on the resource from use or overuse, shoreline erosion, lack of potable water, waste disposal, transportation and parking, planning and construction, and interpretation of sustainability. This charrette was the eighth in a series co-sponsored by the National Park Service and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The objective of the charrette was to develop a plan for further greening of Canaveral in high priority areas such as planning, transportation, facilities, operations and maintenance, and interpretation/ education. The event began with a half-day tour of the site, designed to introduce speakers and other outside participants to issues at Canaveral that might be addressed during the charrette.
