Finding Inspiration in the Natural World
Join iRewild Nature Academy's engaging educational platform, where nature meets conservation education. Our programs, including Mimsy & The Pebbles of Time series and North Atlantic Right Whale units, inspire children to connect with the Earth through hands-on learning and storytelling. Start your journey today and discover the transformative power of online nature therapy for healing.
For museums, aquariums, classrooms, and homeschoolers, my North Atlantic Right Whale units blend accurate marine science with kid-sized empathy and stewardship.
Our Story
Our story started in the classroom—outdoors whenever possible. After 25+ years teaching and designing inquiry-based learning, I saw how quickly students light up when science is wrapped in story, wonder, and real-world stewardship.
In partnership with Ida Covi and the iRewild Institute, I helped bring iRewild Nature Academy to life, along with the Mimsy & The Pebbles of Time series—so young learners can feel their connection to the Earth, not just memorize facts about it.
Today, I create curriculum for classrooms, homeschoolers, museums, and aquariums—blending accurate science, empathy, and hands-on exploration. The goal is simple: help kids fall in love with the natural world, and give them tools to protect it.
