Evaluating nature connection programs for sustainability

Does your program build or enhance connection with nature?
Are some program activities more effective than others at connecting people with nature?
Do nature connection programs encourage action for the environment?

Join us for an online seminar with Melissa Hatty, Research Fellow, BehaviourWorks Australia

• Develop strategies for evaluating environmental education programs that connect adults with nature
• Learn about the CN-12 instrument and applications for nature connection programs
• Explore relationships between nature connection programs and pro-environmental behaviours.

This session is designed for government & community educators, exploring strategies to evaluate adult nature connection programs and implications for biodiversity conservation behaviours.

This seminar is free for NSW environmental educators, an initiative of the Australian Association for Environmental Education (NSW)

This project has been assisted by the NSW Government through its Environmental Trust.
