Earth Stewardship
The class that bridges the philosphy of nature with our daily lives
EARTH STEWARDSHIP
Offered to ages 12-70+
Pre-requisites: Advanced Philosophy of Nature
This class offers the student to apply all the skills from the 'OWL TRAIL of STUDY' to his/her life. At one time, all indigenous people on the planet from Argentina to Ireland, and Asia to Australia considered the Earth to be a garden. They tended to all plants and animals ensuring the survival of all species. Today we find many opportunities to put back into practice these ways. Learning about and practicing the science of habitat restoration, watershed reclamation, and the new role that introduced species plays in relation to the overall balance. What does it mean to be a human being on this planet right now? 10 years ago? 100 years ago? What is our children's relationship to the Earth today? This class draws into focus the balance between our role in society and being true stewards of the land.
