Keeps Flies, Insects, Moths and all kinds of pests out The solution: fly screen curtains with magnetic tape.Such curtains (magnetic curtains) consist of two strips of insect screens, which are attached to the door frame with adhesive tape and held together in the middle with magnetic tape.Reduced cooling costs by enabling fresh air flow through.Back in 2012, I (Molly Ward, MOSS’ Education Director) was working for the Project WET Foundation. One of my co-workers there was taking what sounded like a very cool class in the evenings through MOSS. I remember asking her about it at the time. Years went by, jobs changed and Katie, my coworker, left Bozeman to pursue a Master’s Degree at Yale. We vaguely stayed in touch via social media enough that I knew she was working on a book. It turns out that book came out in May 2021 and is an amazing collection of art work that grew from idea hatched from nature journaling in MOSS’ Master Naturalist course. I tracked Katie down to sign a copy for me and fill me in on how Master Naturalist led to her becoming a published editor. Can you tell me a little bit about yourself? What you do, where you came from, your background and your family? I am an artist, writer, conservationist, and mother. I have lived in the GYE for most of the last decade between Bozeman and Jackson, though am currently based in Boulder, CO. I grew up in Northern Michigan along the shores of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. I spent a lot of time outdoors in wild places through my childhood and have continued the tradition here in the Rockies. I am the artist-in-residence at the Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative, which is based in Jackson. I am drawn to interdisciplinary projects that engage communities around shared values in nature.
For example, I created the interpretive panels appearing throughout Bozeman’s Story Mill Community Park - painting, writing, and designing the content to appear on each sign in collaboration with local conservation and community partners. I have been awarded two National Endowment for the Arts grants for development of artful interpretive resources in GYE natural areas: Story Mill Park (Bozeman) and Astoria Park Conservancy (Jackson). Much of my art takes the form of intricate wildlife portraits created in watercolor, and my paintings appear in books, galleries, and in natural areas across the country. I have worked for environmental NGOs for most of my career, spanning science, policy, management, education, outreach, and the arts. Through my organization, Coyote Art & Ecology, I have collaborated with such groups as the Trust for Public Land, National Geographic, the WILD Foundation, Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, and AMB West Ranches. I have my Masters from Yale’s School of the Environment, where I co-taught Yale undergrad courses on Yellowstone and Global Change, and traveled with student groups to guide them in exploration and study of the biological, social, and policy contexts of the region.
STORYMILL CRACK FREE
I spend my free time trail running, climbing, hiking, and nature journaling, though these days my explorations keep me in nature closer to home: watching birds with my young son and awaiting a new baby arriving this summer.
You took MOSS’ Master Naturalist course several years ago, right? When did you take it and why? #Storymill park free I took MOSS’ Master Naturalist course in 2012 and absolutely loved it. I was seeking the next level of knowing this place, and for that I turned to MOSS.Īt the time, I was still getting my bearings after a somewhat recent move to Bozeman and felt that my own explorations of nature here had been maxed out given my knowledge of this region’s natural history. Can you explain your inspiration for creating The Artist’s Field Guide to Yellowstone and how MOSS’ Master Naturalist course tied into that? I have always been a lover of natural history, but the Northern Rockies is a very different ecology than my childhood home ground of the Northern Great Lakes. I was inspired to create The Artist’s Field Guide to Yellowstone given my love of natural history, my interest in the arts, and my desire to better know my new home, the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
