Learning to love snakes
Global Field Program (GFP) graduate student and environmental educator Rachel Munro of Lilburn, Georgia, was recently published in a blog she wrote for the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAEE). Her article, "Learning to Love Snakes," describes what happened when she and a group of 15 fifth graders encountered a venomous copperhead snake while on a hike in the North Georgia Mountains. "As we get closer, I start to recognize the distinctive Hershey kiss markings and a triangle-shaped head," said Munro. "It is a copperhead, a venomous snake native to the area, and we are headed straight for it."
Munro is earning a Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) in the Biological Sciences from Miami through Project Dragonfly‘s GFP while working as an environmental educator in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
