Partnering Organizations

Nurture Nature Center and the Penn State Extension Master Watershed Steward program collaborated to finalize the development of the Watershed Friendly program and will be conducting outreach activities throughout Pennsylvania.

The Master Watershed Steward program transforms citizens into a managed, educated, organized volunteer force addressing local conservation priorities. A key strength of the program is its focus on collaboration, working with a broad partnership of local and state organizations, agencies, and government. People who want to make a difference are given the information and the opportunity to do so, guided by local conservation professionals who organize, supervise, and engage the volunteers to make a positive impact in their communities and their water quality. More information can be found at: https://extension.psu.edu/programs/watershed-stewards/about

Nurture Nature Center (NNC) is a science-based community center, founded in 2007, focused on local environmental risks. Using a blend of science, art and community dialogue, NNC offers programming about environmental risks that people care about in their community. The Center hosts thousands of visitors, both adults and children, every year. NNC has done environmental education programming, including programming for science teachers, on the topics of flooding, climate change, local food issues as well as other environmental issues of public concern.

Funding
Financial and other support for the “Watershed-Friendly Properties – an education and certification program” has been provided by the Department of Environmental Protection’s 2020 Environmental Education Grants Program. Project partners include Nurture Nature Center and Penn State Extension.

Event Details

Tick, tock, tick, tock. Join us at NNC to learn about one of the most mysterious aspects of our universe… time. This sphere show will cover everything from how we measure time to the fundamental laws of physics that lead to our understanding of the passage of time. Along the way we will take a tour of deep time from the formation of the earth and beyond into the distant future.
This program will be on September 29th from 6-7 pm* at NNC, followed by an Opening Reception for a new art exhibit “What a Day Looks Like: Circadian Cycles” from 7-9 pm – a curated exhibit of artworks that reflect, measure, and depict the patterns of life during a 24-hour time period.

*An advanced showing will take place for time travelers only. The date of the advanced showing will be posted after the event has occurred.

Event Details

Musician Dan DeChellis has been creating music for decades. The pieces he wrote during the pandemic reflect a period when things closed down and time seemed to slow down. The low drone of his music reflected this feeling of slowing down and inspired a new focus — painting. The music and paintings go hand-in-hand in this exhibit, each feeding into one another.

Join us as we celebrate the opening reception of these works at Nurture Nature Center’s Delaware Gallery. The seasoned musician and newly inspired artist will be there to play his music live.

Come early at 6pm to experience a Science on a Sphere presentation about time: “What is Time? A look at the science behind how we measure our days.”

Join us early at 6pm for a new Science on a Sphere Show: “What is Time? A look at the science behind how we measure our days.”

A lot can happen in a day. People wake up and go about their daily routines of chores, work, cooking their meals, and interacting with friends and family members. Tucked within these daily routines, truly memorable things happen as we fall in love, welcome babies, survive a storm, attend a funeral, or discover new places.

Whether you measure your day with a wristwatch, heart beats or shadows on the pavement, we are all part of this 24-hour cycle that we share with all of our planet. Ice melts and reforms with the rising and setting of the sun, plants stretch their tendrils to meet the light, and as the ocean darkens at night, many of its inhabitants begin the vertical migration to its surface to feed.

“What a Day Looks Like – Circadian Cycles”, a curated exhibit, will be open in Nurture Nature’s Science Hall Gallery opening Friday, September 29th and continue through through November 15th, 2023.
