Nature Study in Public Schools, 1927

Posted

September 17, 2026

Another HerStory of conservation: Long before environmental education became common in schools, women’s clubs recognized the importance of helping children understand and appreciate the natural world.

In the 1920s, nature study was seen as a way to inspire curiosity, stewardship, and responsibility, which are values that continue to shape conversations around conservation and environmental awareness today.

OUR MISSION: Empowering women and enriching the community, while preserving the historic home and promoting the Club’s legacy.
