In my research I explore how practices of eco-poetic inquiry can support learners in developing ecological literacy by deepening their relationships with the Earth.

Engaging with eco-poetic inquiries that ask students to describe the connections they have with local environments is a way of asking them to re-examine the relationships they have with the more than human world that may lead to restoration.
