While our class will be going to the Nurture Nature Center in Easton for the first time tomorrow, I went for my first a week ago to begin my work volunteering there. As background:

“The Nurture Nature Center, located in Easton, Pennsylvania, is a dynamic center for community learning about local environmental risks. NNC is housed in a beautifully renovated, historic, 30,000 square foot facility, where the staff uses a blend of science, art and dialogue programs to get the community talking and thinking critically about the local environment.”

When I went to the NNC the thing that intrigued me the most was the different artwork and photographs around the building. I wondered why the center had chosen those specific photographs and whether research had been done to see if the photographs chosen connected individuals with the environment similar to the murals we discussed in class. When we visit tomorrow everyone should try to look at the walls and try to determine the motivations for selection.
