OUTDOOR RECREATION, PARKS AND OTHER GREEN ENVIRONMENTS: UNDERSTANDING HUMAN AND COMMUNITY BENEFITS AND MECHANISMS

  • Jordan, Rebecca (PI)

Project Details

Description

Environmental literacy among suburban Americans is said to be low. In response, personnel at public parks and greenspaces have worked to offer place-based programming that not only includes natural history but also environmental behavior and attitude change. Doing so, however, requires a thoughtful approach that targets not only normative but non-normative conceptions about the environment.This project will not only collect data that will help professionals effectively gear future programming but also will develop a program geared toward educators outside of the park setting. This project will help to establish a foundation of evidence-based practices that promote environmental literacy.
