About Everyday Expeditions
Everyday Expeditions was created with the purpose of connecting people, particularly children, to nature. Everyone can build their connection to nature through the exploration of the spaces they interact with everyday.
As Thomas Henry Huxley said over a century ago, it is essential to create opportunities for children to develop a genuine connection to nature. If you don’t understand the value of your own environment there is no reason for you to care about it.
Everyday Expeditions aspires to bring quality science education content and experiences to learners wherever they may be.
“To a person uninstructed in natural history, his country or seaside stroll is a walk through a gallery filled with wonderful works of art, nine-tenths of which have their faces turned to the wall.”
— Thomas Henry Huxley
About Emilie
Hi! I’m Emilie, the human behind Everyday Expeditions. As far back as I can remember, I have loved learning, particularly about nature. I grew up and became a Wildlife Biologist and Science Educator with now over 20 years of experience in the classroom, in the field, and designing curriculum. I created Everyday Expeditions as a place to share the skills and knowledge I have gained over the years and to expand on my artistic side.
Nature journaling has been a big part of my practice, whether it was keeping a field journal for a project or just sketching things I see on hikes and walks. Sketching has been an important way for me to slow down, connect to what was around me, and learn about them. As a part of this new chapter, I am focusing more time on art and sharing that with others.
I hope you will join me on this journey by subscribing to my newsletter or following Everyday Expeditions using the links at the bottom of the page.
