Having a passion and sharing it with others can be one of the most rewarding experiences. As gardeners, nature lovers, and environmental stewards, we relish those moments when we see that twinkle of wonder across a student’s eyes. In this age of technology, it seems like these moments of natural wonder are getting harder to find, but it is more important than ever to connect, even in a small way, with the environment. Join us for a look at how environmental interpretation has changed over the years, what inspired our journey, and methods and techniques you can use to share your love of nature and native plants with others.
Shannon and Anthony Trimboli have loved nature and the outdoors since childhood. Despite growing up hundreds of miles apart, they had similar childhoods, exploring the “wilder areas” of their yards and neighborhoods, chasing critters, and playing in the dirt. Like anyone passionate about something, they loved to share their love of nature with anyone who would listen. This passion followed them into college, where they obtained degrees in wildlife biology and then into their careers with both holding multiple conservation and environmental education positions. Eventually, both went back to college, while working part-time to obtain their Masters’ degrees, Shannon in ecology and Anthony in agriculture. Despite all the starts and stops of life, their passion for education never wavered. Today, they operate Backyard Ecology™ to help you avoid some of the mistakes they’ve made so you can achieve your own habitat dreams even faster and easier, guided by the principles of Curiosity, Balance, Science Informed, and Stewardship.
