The Nature Record with Schuylkill Nature Center
March 24 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Join our partners at Schuylkill Nature Center for Environmental Education for their unique event hosting The Nature Record. Our Events Coordinator, Tianna Godsey, will open the event with a reading of one of her nature-themed poems, “decomposition of a tree.”
The Nature Record is the first comprehensive, independent, evidence-based assessment of how nature is doing in the United States and how changes in nature are shaping our lives, communities, and economy.
The public comment period for The Nature Record Assessment is open. Members of the public are invited to review the assessment and submit comments to help improve its clarity, accuracy, and usefulness.
This free, public event will help shape the Assessment, and will include information sharing, Q&A sessions, and collaborative round table discussions.
Come talk with our authors, learn about the report, and share your thoughts. Add your voice to a public conversation with the authors of The Nature Record Assessment.

This event is in partnership with Accessing Urban Nature Initiative and The Nature Record.
Accessing Urban Nature Initiative (AUNI) connects Philadelphia residents with the city’s hidden wildlife through a network of motion-triggered trail cameras in local green spaces. Partnering with community groups, parks, and wildlife refuges, AUNI captures captivating images of urban animals to inspire curiosity, outdoor exploration, and environmental stewardship. As an ongoing research study, AUNI helps us understand how wildlife thrives in the city, guiding efforts to protect urban nature and biodiversity for generations to come.
The Nature Record is the first comprehensive, independent, evidence-based assessment of how nature is doing in the United States and how changes in nature are shaping our lives, communities, and economy.
From March 2 through May 31, anyone can review the draft Assessment and share input through a public comment portal, or at virtual or in-person engagement events listed on the website.
The Nature Record examines the status, trends and future of nature in the United States, and how changes in nature are shaping our lives, communities, and economy. Nature influences the air we breathe, the water we drink, the homes we build, the stability of our climate, the health of our brains and bodies, and the strength of our local economies. Even for those who don’t focus on environmental issues every day, these connections are constant and deeply woven into daily life.
The Nature Record is an independent team of nearly 200 leading scientists, researchers, experts, and practitioners. Their work is rooted in science, guided by communities, and enriched by public participation. The Nature Record is creating a clear, accessible picture of nature across the nation and the role it plays in everything from local economies to public health and community resilience.
