September 9 6:30pm Native Plant Society meeting and lecture. Teaching from the Ground Up: Native Plants and Two-Eyed Seeing in Youth Education

Native plants offer more than ecological insight—they carry stories, histories, and teachings that can ground young people in the land. Institute for Applied Ecology’s Education and Outreach Coordinator, Tanner Johnson, will discuss how the concept of Two-Eyed Seeing can guide students in exploring their home landscapes, integrating Indigenous and Western ways of knowing to foster respect, curiosity, and connection.
