I (Kay) also attended an incredible place-based learning course at home in Homer, AK. At the Master Naturalist training, put on by the joint organizations of the Kachemak Bay Environmental Education Alliance (KBEEA), I got to explore the place I live through the lens of a naturalist, marine biologist, and community member. I’m inspired by the work of scientists in the community I live in, and can’t wait to learn more about the power of place-based learning that kids are exposed to here in Alaska.
