Episode 102 - Forest Educator Spotlight: The Weight of Ecological Loss and Grief

The problem with 'awareness' is that it is 'on' even when we would prefer it wasn't. Once we open that capacity, it helps us see the world in new ways-both the beautiful and the painful.
In addition to noticing the incredible birdsong or wildflowers, we also see the trash littered across the landscape, or the ragged destruction caused by wanton development. We know the joy of our personal refuges, and the agony at seeing them defiled by those who don't understand or know what makes them unique.
It's a weight that we all carry, and one that our students will also, eventually. In this episode, we explore this phenomenon and consider ways that can support us all.
