We continue our look at residential environmental learning centers in this week's podcast. These nonprofit facilities connect people to nature. But they are tasked with serving a greater good -- to foster the development of better global citizens.
Lynn Riddick speaks with Catey McClary of the Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont to better understand this organization whose roots in outdoor learning go back some 50 years. Throughout those years, the institute has always looked for ways to expand to a broader audience through partnerships with the park, the community, schools and colleges.
We leave you this week with a short glimpse of visiting Crater Lake National Park during these days of Covid-19. Traveler’s Becky Latson visited the park this past week, and talks about what she saw … including the comet Neowise.
