"It is a wholesome and necessary thing for us to turn again to the earth and in the contemplation of her beauties to know the sense of wonder and humility."
-Rachel Carson, The Sense of Wonder
As part of the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge’s 50th Anniversary Celebration, Refuge staff has started a year-long blog series with a focus on the concept of finding a balance between the Sense of Wonder that people interested in conservation have about the natural world and how that meshes with the science, research and conservation actions taken. The Friends are happy to spread the word about this wonderful blog series where you can get an inside look at where science and wonder converge in the world of conservation! Refuge staff will be sharing their personal experience in balancing their Sense of Wonder for nature and the Refuge with their research and fieldwork.
Please take a few minutes to read and enjoy the debut blog entry by Rachel Stearns, Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge Biological Technician!
