Led by Barbara Snapp
A sense of place is a powerful – and very personal – force. It speaks with the voice of history, but opens doors to the future, for ourselves and the people in our lives. When the sense of place includes the natural landscape, it folds us into the broader world of plants, animals, rocks, waves, sunrise, sunset – and leaves us with a sense of awe and curiosity and stewardship. To develop a sense of place is to find purpose in life, and each experience of place renews and refreshes that purpose.
Barbara Snapp developed her sense of place on the coast of downeast Maine as a child and renewed it each summer until retiring and moving to Maine. That experience of coastal Maine ignited a lifelong curiosity about nature and a passion about explaining its wonders to others. Her passion led Barbara to a PhD in Biology and a career in teaching science in college, high school, and now Midcoast Senior College.
