About This Project
The Earth Around Us Tent program is a partnership between the U.S. Forest Service , the Leitzel Center at the University of New Hampshire GLOBE Partnership, the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire, and the White Mountain National Forest.
In 2016, the Soil Tent was prototyped through a series of three interdisciplinary STEAM residencies in NH public school fourth-grade classrooms and the program is now available to schools and community sites. The residencies combined Elementary GLOBE soil curriculum materials; hands-on soil science observation with White Mountain National Forest Soil Scientist Andy Colter; and production of large-scale soil murals in collaboration with Artist in Residence Julie Püttgen. Learn more about the Soil Tent development here. The Soil Tent program is available to schools and community groups local to NH. Interested in bringing an Earth Around Us Tent to your community?

In 2023, the Water Tent began development. Please stay tuned for more information on this!
