Reminder: PA Association Of Environmental Educators Conference March 17-19
|
|
Registration is now open for the 2011 PA Association of Environmental Educators Conference on March 17-19 in Ligonier.
The keynote presentation will be given by Dudley Edmonson, a nature photographer, author and all around outdoor enthusiast.
As a seasoned photographer he has spent the last 20 years of his life traveling around the nation working with wild subjects in wilderness spaces in just about every habitat America has to offer.
When he is not working on a photographic assignment or traveling on a speaking engagement, he spends most of his free time cycling, kayaking, skiing, swimming or trail running. He is proud to admit that he owns four bikes and is always looking for another one to add to his collection.
Dudley’s most recent project is his first book: Black & Brown Faces in America’s Wild Places. To complete the book he spent four years traveling around the nation in search of other African Americans who were as passionate about the outdoors as he was. The goal of the book is to encourage other African Americans to get out and experience nature for their own mental and physical health.
If the book is successful he hopes it will give African Americans a sense of ownership for the nation’s green spaces and wilderness areas, which he believes is key to ensuring protection of the nation’s “Natural Heritage” for future generations of Americans.
