About the event:

Sponsored by the Cincinnati Museum Center, the Educators at the Edge program provides participants with new, experiential learning opportunities. Explore topics focused on natural history and gain new skills to be used in the classroom. These exciting classes are open to classroom teachers, naturalists, and other non-traditional educators. Graduate credit through Ashland University is available as well as up to 45 contact hours.

The Richard and Lucile Durrell Edge of Appalachia Preserve System is a 20,000-acre nature preserve located in beautiful Adams County, Ohio. The preserve is owned and managed by Cincinnati Museum Center and The Nature Conservancy in Ohio. Both of these private non-profit organizations have been working in partnership to conserve the rare and unusual flora and fauna of Adams County since 1959.

A Day of Fun-gi!

Thursday, October 19, 2023

Want to have more to say about mushrooms and fungus in general when out with students or participants? Join fellow educator, Gia G. and delve into the kingdom of fungi.

Making Pictures

Thursday, November 2, 2023

Guest Instructor: Sam James, Photographer

Join professional photographer, Samuel James, for an introduction to nature photography. See and experience nature through a different lens and go beyond the mechanics of taking a picture and learn to make the picture you really want. In addition to working on developing your personal artistic voice, practice making images that can be used to effectively illustrate scientific ideas and tell stories about natural history.

Animal Adaptations

Thursday, February 29, 2024

Instructor: Robyn Wright-Strauss, Chief Naturalist, Edge of Appalachia Preserve System

Every animal has adapted to fill a specific niche in their ecosystem. From teeth and beaks to feet and everything in between, these adaptations make each animal unique. Investigate physical and behavioral adaptations that have helped animals survive and thrive in the Eastern Forest.

Land Snails

Thursday, March 21, 2024

Instructor: Robyn Wright-Strauss, Chief Naturalist, Edge of Appalachia Preserve System

Small and often overlooked, land snails are tremendously important organisms in the ecosystem. Occupying several trophic levels and taking part in nutrient cycling, these mollusks are worth taking a closer look at. With 60 species of land snails documented at EOA, the preserve is the perfect place to learn and love the humble land snail.

Abuzz about Bees

Thursday, May 16, 2024

Instructor: Robyn Wright-Strauss, Chief Naturalist, Edge of Appalachia Preserve System

Other insects want to be them and plants need them, yet we know so little about the approx. 4,000 native bees known to North America. Discover all things bees and pollination with this hands-on and field based workshop!
