2020-2021 Love Our Living World and EcoExtravaganza

Our Love Our Living World series was five virtual events and other activities exploring our affinity with nature and the importance of connecting to our living world — what is known as biophilia. The series culminated on Thursday, June 10, 2021, with the Third Annual EcoExtravaganza.

Our affinity with the earth compels us to seek connections to nature. Nature can calm us, heal us, and inspire us. This very real relationship—a love of our living world—is known as Biophilia.

Our event series included: 


  • Our Connect the Dots activity challenging participants to love our living world in 13+ ways,
  • Your Love Our Living World stories that shared the ways you are connecting to and celebrating our living world.  You can read the stories here and here.

Biophilia Live! kicked off the Love Our Living World Series on October 8, 2020. The virtual program focused on how to interweave nature into your life featuring Lynn Borton as moderator and with speakers: Dr. Laura Anderko of the Mid-Atlantic Center for Children’s Health and the Environment, artist Elsabe Dixon, and Nick Schauman of The Local Oyster.

Biophilia At Your Table was a series of submissions around the theme of Fall and the holiday season that included recipes, decor, and images
