Space or Technical Considerations: 
Since we are so detached from the natural world, my preference is to do most of my programs outdoors. Some require access to tables or water. Some programs seasonal or vary by time of day.

Comments: 
Submitted by J.Jones, CH BG check 1/10 klr JJ: "Hannah did a special Spring Break program at our library for kids ages called Pebble Pets and Poetry. Hannah has both an environmental and English education background, and her business focuses on hands on, environmental education. Her class was fun, hands on, creative and educational. She has wonderful classroom management skills. I am hoping to have her back for a Geo-caching.
