Not possible in a public school? Thinkagain!The Ogden Nature Center has launched several new programsand partnerships this fall which bring environmental education toschoolyards and classrooms in our community.Environmental Specialist at Shadow Valley ElementaryA unique partnership between the Ogden Nature Center andShadow Valley Elementary School offers students in Kindergartenthrough the 6th grade the chance to learn about their localenvironment in a very special, in-depth way. Melissa Robinson,outreach educator at the Ogden Nature Center, is also ShadowValley’s new environmental specialist. This partnership allowsRobinson to work part-time for the Nature Center while spendingthe other half of her time as an employee of Ogden City Schoolsat Shadow Valley Elementary. At the Nature Center, Robinson isresponsible for the popular “Wild Wednesday” programs on-site andshe provides outreach programs throughout the community. Hertime at the school is spent developing environmental curriculum,establishing partnerships, and of course, teaching all of the studentsat the school about the natural world. The partnership involves theNature Center’s entire education staff who share their expertise andassist Robinson in developing lesson plans and presenting programs.This close relationship with Shadow Valley Elementary has providedthe Nature Center with new knowledge to improve existingprograms by offering what teachers need the most.

weed eating goats?Throughout Northern Utah, land managers are using goats tomanage noxious weeds. In July, the Nature Center brought a smallherd to the nature preserve and they have been busily chompingweeds, while leaving the desirable native grasses alone. The goats willbe moved off-site for the cold winter months, but will be back as soonas the ground is clear from snow in the spring.earth moving.Thank you Randy Call for loaning your herd of goats to the Ogden Nature Center for weed management.stop idling in vehiclesThe Ogden Nature Center recently adopted a No Idling Policy, andsupports the Governor’s No Idling Week Proclamation.Why no idling? Idling for 10 seconds uses the same amount of gas asrestarting your car. Idling for two minutes uses the same amount of fuelit takes to go about one mile. Idling for one hour burns nearly one gallonof gasoline. The average person idles their car five to 10 minutes a day.Idling is linked to increases in asthma, allergies, heart and lung disease andcancer. Newer vehicles need no more than 30 seconds of idling time incold temperatures.Things you can do: Turn off your ignition if you’re waiting more than 10 seconds. Warm upyour engine by driving it, not by idling. Warm up the cabin interior bydriving, not idling. Protect your car engine by idling less. Sitting in anidling car means you are breathing in more of the dirty exhaust that leaksinto the car cabin.- Idle Free Utah and California Energy CommissionThe Ogden Nature Center’s entryway on 12th Street is undergoing a massive re-landscaping thanks to a grant from Weber CountyRAMP and a very generous anonymous donor.Four years ago a group of nature center directors and educators fromaround the country conducted a peer review and consultation for theOgden Nature Center. Their follow up report included commentsthat the entryway gave very little hint of what lay within, and was notvery inviting to passersby. They gave several suggestions on how toimprove the initial impression for visitors. Their suggestions strucka cord with the staff who too often heard that passersby weren’t surewhat the Nature Center was, what we did here or if we were even opento the public. Two years later, staff, volunteers and board membersaddressed these suggestions in a strategic planning retreat and ecocharette. Through this process the 12th Street frontage and entrywaywas designated as a high priority capital improvement.We first set out to fund a master plan for the front 20 acres ofproperty adjacent to 12th Street. Now, with a master plan in hand,a landscape design for the entry area was created and this fall we aretackling the first phase. We are emphasizing drought tolerant, lowwater use and low maintenance plantings. We hope the thousands oftravelers that drive by on a daily basis will notice and be compelled tovisit and get to know the Ogden Nature Center. We also hope toinspire homeowners and businesses alike to consider using plantingsthat are best suited for our dry, desert climate. Additionally, we hopethe Ogden Nature Center frontage along 12th Street will add a naturalpage 3and welcoming entrance to our beautiful city.page 3

new, natural, playHiding in tunnels, long-jumping in sand, painting with water,digging in dirt, climbing on rocks and learning about solar power.TheOgden Nature Center is creating a brand new Outdoor Discovery Area forchildren.The self-guided play zone will include an obstacle course with six naturalpods, each with a theme that allows our young visitors to learn whileplaying. The natural pods include animal adaptations, art in nature,weather exploration, composting, rocks and a sensory garden. Visitors willbe able to dig for animal fossils in a sand pit, create an artistic masterpieceusing only objects found in nature and learn why Desert Tortoises like tohide under the ground in summer and winter.The new play zone is already taking shape just south of the LS PeeryEducation Center. A landscaped walking path winds through the variouspods, where fun signage will inspire kids to hunt, hide, build, create andpretend outside. These activities are good for mental health, learning, andbrain development. Being close to nature may foster people’s ability toconcentrate, improve behavior and boosts science test scores, researchshows.From video games & TV to cell phones and computers, today’s youthare plugged in almost everywhere they go. When at the Nature Center,children flock to our electronic, interactive kiosk to play computer gamesthat relate to nature, but when they are outside, on the trails, we sometimeshear “what is there to do here?” We’re hoping this new, natural play areawill encourage kids to dig into some fun and creative time unplugged andin the great outdoors.The project should be completed sometime next spring!“Along with milk & vegetables,kids need a steady diet of rocks and worms.Rocks need skipping. Holes need digging. Water needs splashing.Bugs and frogs and slimy stuff need finding.”.From a Go RVing advertisementTop: The new Outdoor Discovery Area begins to take shape.
