"We are all schoolmasters, and our schoolhouse is the universe.
To attend chiefly to the desk or schoolhouse while
we neglect
the scenery in which it is placed is absurd."
This new program invites young people
from around the world to become environmental stewards.
Every community has a Walden, a place in need of our care
and protection. Find yours and share your environmental
project with others. Guided instructions lead groups through
designing, implementing and reflecting on their projects.
View student projects from around the world.
Summer professional development seminar for high school
teachers
This
seminar provides high school teachers with the skills needed
to lead their students in a study of their home community
using Henry David Thoreau’s experiences as a model.
Evening
talks are given by authors, lecturers, and environmental
stewards on topics ranging from the natural history of
Walden Woods and beyond to recently published works
connected to Thoreau or to the authors whose collections are
archived at the Thoreau Institute.
Join us
for occasional excursions in Walden Woods. Explore vernal
pools. Photograph wildflowers in spring. Track animals in
winter. Enjoy autumnal tints.
