Unit 10 blog post - final blog

Hi everyone!

It's been fascinating to read about the various backgrounds that each student has brought to this course from all around the world, which has led to us all creating these blogs. It just goes to illustrate, in my opinion, how powerfully nature can unite people. We all have a connection to the outdoors that we would like to share with others, whether or not we are majoring in science or something else. I'm confident that the writing and reflection I've done during this course will benefit me going forward. In my opinion, a person's ethics and beliefs change throughout time as they gain more knowledge. As I develop as a nature interpreter, I find myself continuously reflecting on the beliefs, responsibilities and approaches that guide my work. For me, nature interpretation is not just about sharing knowledge but more about creating meaningful relationships between people and their natural environment. It’s a dynamic process, shaped by personal experiences, evolving philosophies, and the recognition of the diverse audiences I aim to serve. I base my nature interpreter ethics on three things: accessibility, authenticity, and empowerment.  These values guide my practice and inspire my dedication to ensuring that nature becomes a space for discovery, learning, and healing for all.

At the core of my work as a nature interpreter is the profound belief in the fact that nature is a common ancestral heritage of all people, and therefore we all have equal rights to access and enjoy nature. I am one of those lucky ones who, while growing up, got to witness nature in all its raw beauty, camping with my family and exploring the forests nearby. Such experiences instilled in me a very deep respect for the way life interrelates and the realization that every creature, ecosystem, and element plays a vital role in maintaining the balance on our planet.

I also believe that nature is both a healer and a teacher. It has taught me all about patience, resiliency, and humility through time spent outdoors. It has been comforting during tough times and has given me room for joy and adventure. I am highly committed to sharing this view with others who have not had a chance to experience it first-hand.

Lastly, I believe inclusiveness and equity should be guiding principles in our work with nature interpretation. Nature cannot continue to be a luxury for a few select people. We must actively seek to remove the obstacles that keep people from accessing nature, whether they be social, economic, physical, or cultural. In sum, I believe as a nature interpreter I work hard to make sure that my messages speak to a variety of audiences and take into account their particular requirements and viewpoints.

As a nature interpreter, my responsibilities go way beyond the sharing of facts about ecosystems or wildlife. They include facilitating accessibility, building emotional connections, and encouraging stewardship. I consider it my responsibility to create experiences that are accessible to all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. This might be done in terms of adapting programs to suit people with disabilities and offering multilingual services, or it might be interpreted by working with communities that have less opportunity to engage in nature. Moreover, facts alone are not enough to inspire change. My responsibility is to create experiences that provoke admiration, curiosity, and a sense of belonging in the natural world. Lastly, nature interpretation provides the opportunity to inspire responsibility for the environment. I want to enable people to make choices supportive of sustainability and conservation through knowledge of the consequences of their actions.

Over time, I’ve come to realize that my most effective approaches to nature interpretation are those that align with my personality, skills, and values. This includes hands-on experiential learning, creating inclusive spaces, encouraging curiosity and inquiry, and blending fun with learning. I firmly believe that people learn best when they can experience the world around them directly. This could involve taking participants on a nature walk and pointing out various plants and animals, or facilitating activities such as building birdhouses and planting gardens for pollinators. Besides these experiences helping individuals gain knowledge, they tend to make people confident enough to take part in nature. As previously mentioned, inclusivity is central to my approach. This implies sensitivity to the use of language, avoiding talk and language that may confuse and alienate others, enabling activities to be modified for a range of skills or abilities. This may include adding more tactile activities for visually impaired participants or providing quiet areas for overstimulation from large groups. Next, rather than presenting myself as an all-knowing authority, I prefer to position myself as a co-explorer, encouraging participants to ask questions and seek their answers. This helps people develop a sense of responsibility and possession regarding their learning. In my opinion, getting people to ask their own questions instead of telling them the answers to everything will encourage curiosity. Lastly, as a nature interpreter, one of my goals was to let people have fun while learning about the environment. Games, scavenger hunts, and other creative activities like nature journaling or photography, are perfect ways to engage participants while sneaking in messages about ecology and conservation.

I look back at my journey as a nature interpreter and believe my ethic is still unfolding. I often revise my methods and reflect on my beliefs to continue refining them to be representative of my goals and the communities I serve. As I develop my personal ethic, it has taught me to be humble and not set in one way. Nature reminds us that change is constant and that there is always more to learn. By staying open to new ideas and perspectives, I hope to grow not only as a nature interpreter but also as an advocate for a healthier and sustainable relationship with our planet.

It has been great to read and interact with you all this semester through these blogs and I've learned so much about everyone!! I hope you all have a great rest of the semester :)

Unit 09 blog post

Hi all,

One of the most amazing things I know about nature, in my opinion, is the ocean. The ocean covers more than 70% of our world and holds within it such vast mysteries that we hardly ever actually get to understand it. It is a completely different world of extremes-conditions and housing thousands of complex creatures. Take, for example, the anglerfish that lives deep beneath the sea. Its needle teeth and the luminescent light which dangles in front of its mouth are good tools for life spent in complete darkness a couple of thousand feet below the surface. This is just one of many bioluminescent adaptations developed by creatures of the ocean to make life possible with crushing pressure and no light.

The ocean is home to multiple other truly remarkable creatures. Take the leafy sea dragon, for example. With fronds that look just like bits of floating seaweed, it blends perfectly into its surroundings, hiding in plain sight from predators and giving it an almost mythical look. Then there is the world's largest animal, the blue whale. The blue whale can communicate with other whales over great distances thanks to its loud, resonant cries, which can reach for miles. To me, this is fascinating as they can use clicks, whistles and pulsed calls, like songs to communicate. These creatures give us a look at the ocean’s mystery.

Arguably, though, the most amazing thing about nature is not the strange or the beautiful creatures that live in the ocean, but that it is something that can be accessed at all times by all of us. Whether you are standing on some remote cliffside, watching waves crash against the rocks, or taking a moment to look up at the night sky from your backyard, nature finds ways to get to us. You do not have to be an adventurer or scientist to sense its power. We are connected to something greater even just by going outside and experiencing the warmth of the sun on our skin or listening to the sound of leaves rustling in the breeze. The balance that exists in nature serves as a reminder that we are a part of something much bigger than ourselves, something that existed before us and will undoubtedly outlive us. It reminds me of how my mind was racing with deadlines and worries one day while I was walking through the arboretum. For around five minutes, I sat on one of the benches and continued to notice small details in my surroundings. First, it was the sound of the mosquitoes around me, which I was not happy about, but then I saw squirrels playing with one another and then noticed how the sun was warming up my ears, and the rest of my face. It is these little moments that remind us how beauty in nature is not something that is rare; it's everywhere, waiting to be noticed. 

This is a picture I took of the stars around a year ago, in the arboretum! Looking up at the stars and it being so quiet outside was such a peaceful moment for me.

So, while the ocean's mysteries are complex and impressive, the true beauty and amazing thing about nature is how it is all around us, at all times. Nature is there for everyone, a source of happiness, calmness, and connection that reminds us we're all part of the same world. 

Thanks for reading!

Unit 07 blog post

Hi all,

To answer the question, “Where is music in nature?” and “Where is nature in music?”, I think there is more than one response. Music in nature can be found, in my opinion, quite literally everywhere. Whether that is the sound of trees rustling on a windy day, birds communicating while flying overhead, waves crashing into each other, or even rain during a heavy thunderstorm. Although this isn't quite like the music we like to listen to on our headphones every day, I find it can still be just as enjoyable. These natural sounds can even inspire the composition of music we hear today. Many different cultures across time have incorporated animal sounds, fire sounds, and many more natural melodies into their own musical traditions. It goes to show that music and nature are intertwined with one another.

Many natural rhythms are influenced by the sound of the sea, wind, and rain, which serves as a reminder of how deeply ingrained nature's melodies are in music. According to the article by Gray et al. (2001), musical sounds observed in nature indicate a connection between any living things, and that this relationship can be understood as a shared language among species. On the other hand, when it comes to music, there is so much more to reflect on when it comes to nature rather than just purely imitating the sounds. Composers often write their music according to the landscapes they see. This includes mountains, lakes, or even a thunderstorm. It can be a way of portraying the place, where the listeners feel themselves there when they are far from it. For songwriters who have enough talent to capture the wide range of feelings, narratives, and visual beauty found in nature and transform them into sound, it can be a constant source of inspiration. For artists, songwriters, and composers, nature is an endless source of inspiration. It offers a variety of feelings, stories, and visual beauty that may be transformed into sounds. Tilden's principles state that interpretative programs that combine art and information can have a profound emotional impact that leads to a sense of connection with nature, which should then inspire responsibility. Incorporating bird melodies into beatboxing is one example of how Ben Mirin uses his skill to capture the sounds of specific species. This gives audiences a new perspective on animals and ecosystems that they might never get to see firsthand.

One song that immediately takes me back to a natural landscape is “Good Days” by SZA. The reasoning for this is that I find the song to be really dreamlike as if I’m walking on a beach at sunset or nighttime. SZA has been one of my favourite artists for a long time so I am definitely also a fan of her voice, in this song specifically. The song is about how even though things might be tough right now, “good days” are coming. I love the meaning of this song because it is a reminder to not be more present and to not focus too much on the things that stress us out in life.

This is a picture I took two summers ago, walking along the beach at around 11pm, listening to "Good Days". I love this picture because even though the quality is not the best, it takes me back to that time when I felt so at peace :)

Unit 06 blog post

Hi everyone!

As I read this quote- "There is no peculiar merit in ancient things, but there is merit in integrity, and integrity entails the keeping together of the parts of any whole…", one of the things that came to mind was our relationship with the past. The quote indicates that the past should not be valued simply because it is old, but the integrity of things that exist beyond a certain period of time must still be preserved. It is understanding and remembering what came before that provides the insight necessary to keep a coherent whole, whether in society, tradition, or our own private lives, together. “Integrity entails the keeping together of the parts”, this part of the quote produces interesting questions as to what extent the past continues to have relevance for the present. Take environmental issues, for instance. It is a very modern concern, yet deeply rooted in ancient practices. For centuries, indigenous peoples worked very hard to be in balance with nature, and failure to understand that might cause us to miss out on some key information about how to care for our Earth. Not learning from ancient wisdom compromises our current environmental efforts. On the other hand, not all things passed on from the past are worth preserving. For example, the old ideologies of sexism, racism, and colonialism need to be left behind. The quote recognizes that the value of all things ancient lies not in their inherent worth but rather in the wisdom they teach about what should be preserved and what should be let go. To maintain wholeness in the integrity of living today, we have to carefully pick which elements of the past support that wholeness and which elements do not.

I found the railway station analogy to be very powerful: “To think, feel or act as though the past is done with, is equivalent to believing that a railway station through which our train has just passed, only existed for as long as our train was in it”. This passage of the quote makes me think of a train ride I took last summer in Switzerland, through tiny villages and scenery that seemed to be only a brief glimpse of another world. But that does not mean the towns and people that lived in them disappeared just because I moved on. The past is similar to those towns: it does not get erased just because we have moved on through it, it continues to shape the present whether we like it or not.

This is a picture of one of the beautiful towns I passed by, while on the train.

This led me to think; how do we determine what pieces of the past are worth keeping? I think the answer lies in whether those pieces contribute to sustaining integrity. In my own life, I’ve let go of family customs that felt more like obligations than meaning, but I’ve held on to others, like gathering for family dinners, because they keep a sense of connection and wholeness.

Ultimately, the past should neither be idolized nor discarded. It is but a part of the whole, and integrity means knowing which parts serve us in staying in touch with our selves of today.

Unit 05 blog post

Hi everyone!

I was really excited to see that this week's blog prompt was up to us because it gives me the opportunity to talk about something that has always fascinated me: the disaster of Chernobyl. In the early morning hours of April 26th, 1986, with a late-night safety test at the nuclear power plant in Ukraine, a reactor exploded and let an immense amount of radioactive material into the atmosphere, resulting in the catastrophe of Chernobyl. This explosion called for the evacuation of more than 100,000 people, creating an exclusion zone. Even today, the long-term health and environmental effects are still being studied. The reason I wanted to talk about this is that now, more than three decades later, the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone has evolved into an unlikely sanctuary for wildlife.

Wolves, lynxes, deer, and horses are animals that have thrived outside of human interference in Chernobyl. The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone essentially depicts how nature can thrive in isolation, even with the presence of radiation. Trees in Chernobyl have taken back much of the area, growing over the empty pavements, roads, and buildings left after the accident. Through gaps in the concrete, birch trees have sprouted, and mosses and ferns thrive where people once lived. Such remarkable regeneration proves how nature can reclaim land destroyed by humans and shows that ecosystems can rebound in surprising ways-even in radioactive zones. It is also quite interesting to watch how life within the exclusion zone has adapted to radiation. Even though the levels of radiation remain ridiculously high, some species have shown an incredible ability to not only survive but also thrive within the area. As a matter of fact, some studies have pointed out that some bird species have developed higher quantities of antioxidants, which may protect them against the harmful effects of radiation (Galván et al., 2014). These adaptations enable a long-term view of how radiation has acted through living things and allow a fascinating glance at how life changes in response to a harsh environmental push. How Chernobyl went from the most dangerous place on earth to a new and relatively healthy ecosystem helps one gain a whole new different perspective on nature.

The Chernobyl tragedy resonates highly with me because my grandmother was born and raised in Belarus, one of the most affected places by the explosion. She was not that badly affected physically, but her friend suffered from thyroid cancer because she was exposed to so much radiation. For nature interpreters like ourselves, Chernobyl teaches that even at the most unfortunate moments of Earth's life, it will find a way to survive and even thrive. The exclusion zone shows the importance of interaction between human beings and nature, with a possible ecological regeneration in post-disaster situations. It is indicative of the resilience of nature and is an extremely good example of how ecosystems can recover when man steps aside.
