Learning Places |
Learning places bring people together, with each other and the world around them, strengthening the bonds to nature and community. Authored and owned by the communities’ whose stories they tell, they honor local learning. They move people to work together, learn together, and develop an ever-evolving understanding of the interdependence of communities with the natural world.
