Working with colleague John Huie, I recently supported this long-time equestrian and nature preserve beautifully situated beneath the Saluda escarpment in its quest to establish an outdoor academy that recognizes "master ecologists."
Our strategies emerged after developing a full field curriculum which we were able to test with FENCE members. Based on email survey responses, we shaped the course offerings and the academy's organization, and uncovered an opportunity to link up with the South Carolina Master Naturalist Program, whose first chapter was born in the state's coastal lowlands.
Many thanks to: John Huie, and to Melissa LeRoy, Norm Powers, and Tom Jackson of FENCE.
Jay, please send me your private e-mail when you get a moment. So much to share in such tiny spaces. My email:
