Gloucester County Parks and Recreation Virtual Nature Lessons
(Clarksboro, NJ)— Gloucester County Parks and Recreation is offering virtual lessons on various nature topics. The virtual lessons will feature slide shows with narrations by Dr. Daniel Duran, Gloucester County Naturalist.
“Gloucester County has amazing examples of nature that can be explored through our parks programs,” said Freeholder Director Robert M. Damminger. “Our programs are on hold, but we’re still reaching our nature enthusiast with these online lessons.”
Topics include “What do Insects do?” and “Amazing snakes!”.
“We’ve adapted during COVID-19 to reach our nature explorers in a new way,” said Freeholder Jim Lavender, liaison to Parks and Recreation. “These online lessons are the perfect way to incorporate nature exploration in the online classroom.”
Presentations last 30-60 minutes (flexible) with time for questions and answers. Park educators can present in Google Classroom or Zoom to offer live instruction.
Educators interested in scheduling a virtual session can reach out to Dan Duran, Gloucester County Naturalist, at dduran@co.gloucester.nj.us or Kim Miller at kmmiller@co.gloucester.nj.us.
