Environmental Interpretation through OSU Extended Campus

"I hear, and I forget. I see, and I remember. I do, and I understand."
- Confucius

"Awaken people's curiosity. It is enough to open minds, do not overload them. Put there just a spark."
- Anatole France

"You can observe a lot by just looking around."
- Yogi Berra

What do these renowned philosophers have in common?
Confucius and Anatole France never attended an interpretive program at the local park, yet their words (and Yogi's) have great meaning to anyone interested in teaching others about the natural world. Why?
