Children’s Perspectives on Conservation: Film by Students at Cornerspring Montessori

Belfast - Join Coastal Mountains Land Trust, Cornerspring Montessori School, and Otter Trails at the Belfast Free Library at 5:30pm on Thursday, May 29 to see a joyful and entertaining film about peace with the environment created by students.

Last year, first through third year students at Cornerspring Montessori school made a film centering peace with the environment. With the guidance of their teacher, Haley Norris, the lower elementary students delved into the way land is conserved in their community and how to balance housing and ecological needs.

The class went on several field trips during this project. They visited the office and preserves of Coastal Mountains Land Trust, met with planning staff from the City of Belfast, and spent time with a nature-based homeschool group called Otter Trails.

Otter Trails, led by Coral Breuer and Suzanne Stone, is a three-day-a-week homeschooling enrichment program for children 7-11 with a focus on immersive nature education and learning through community engagement.

This event is free and open to everyone! No registration is needed.
