SUMMARY:Extreme Heat vs Heat Waves: What can you do?
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is co-hosted by Green Umbrella\, The Center for Collaboration on Climate & Community for Health\, and Cincinnati Museum Center. \nExtreme heat is one of the most significant climate-related health risks facing our communities. Rising temperatures and more frequent heat waves increase the risk of heat exhaustion\, heat stroke\, dehydration\, cardiovascular illness\, and worsening chronic health conditions\, especially for children\, older adults\, outdoor workers\, and other vulnerable populations. Heat also contributes to higher energy costs\, strains infrastructure\, and can worsen air quality by increasing ground-level ozone. \nThis workshop will explore regional climate and health findings on extreme heat\, highlight local initiatives that are increasing community resilience through cooling strategies\, tree canopy expansion\, and neighborhood greening\, and discuss practical actions that residents\, organizations\, and local governments can take to reduce heat exposure and build healthier\, more climate-resilient communities. \nPlease click here to register and participate.

SUMMARY:Breathing Easy: A Workshop on Air Quality in Greater Cincinnati
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is co-hosted by Green Umbrella and Cincinnati Museum Center as part of Greater Cincinnati Climate Week. \nAir quality plays a critical role in the health and well-being of our communities. Poor air quality can contribute to asthma\, heart and lung disease\, missed school and work days\, and other health challenges\, particularly among children\, older adults\, and vulnerable populations. Across the Greater Cincinnati region\, community organizations\, researchers\, local governments\, and residents are working together to better understand air quality impacts and identify solutions. \nThis workshop will highlight key findings from regional climate and health studies\, explore ongoing initiatives such as the Green Heart Project\, BREATHE Network\, and Avondale Greenspace Project\, and discuss practical actions that individuals\, institutions\, and communities can take to improve air quality and create healthier neighborhoods. \nPlease click here to register and participate. For more information contact Bamidele Osamika\, bamidele@greenumbrella.org; Brian Pollock\, bpollock@cincymuseum.org

SUMMARY:Educators at the Edge of Appalachia
DESCRIPTION:About the event: \nSponsored 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. \nThe 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. \nSeries 8 \nWater Wins! \nThursday\, September 28\, 2023 \nGuest Instructors: Angie Burke\, Community & Conservation Specialist\, The Nature Conservancy; Liss Whiting\, Conservation Coordinator\, The Nature Conservancy \nJoin CMC’s Edge of Appalachia Preserve System’s partner\, The Nature Conservancy for a day of watery fun! Experience and participate in citizen science by investigating streams\, creeks\, runs\, and ditches. Learn how to make visual observations\, record water quality measurements\, document sampling location with a photo and coordinates\, and upload information to the online “My Backyard Stream” program through Ohio University. Discover tips and strategies for indoor use and larger events as well as field trips and camp activities. \nA Day of Fun-gi! \nThursday\, October 19\, 2023 \nGuest Instructor: Gia Giammarinaro\, Park Naturalist\, Nature Center Director\, Explore Nature!\, Cincinnati Park Board \nWant 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. This workshop will focus less on taxonomy and more on fungi’s ecological role\, proper collection techniques\, and hands on activities that can be replicated in the park or classroom. \nMaking Pictures \nThursday\, November 2\, 2023 \nGuest Instructor: Sam James\, Photographer \nJoin 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. \nAnimal Adaptations \nThursday\, February 29\, 2024 \nInstructor: Robyn Wright-Strauss\, Chief Naturalist\, Edge of Appalachia Preserve System \nEvery 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. \nLand Snails \nThursday\, March 21\, 2024 \nInstructor: Robyn Wright-Strauss\, Chief Naturalist\, Edge of Appalachia Preserve System \nSmall 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. \nAbuzz about Bees \nThursday\, May 16\, 2024 \nInstructor: Robyn Wright-Strauss\, Chief Naturalist\, Edge of Appalachia Preserve System \nOther 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! \nMore information can be found here.
