Breakfast on the Marsh: Derecho and Drumming

Breakfast on the Marsh is a community forum hosted monthly by Little River Wetlands Project. The focus is on nature and the environment. 
 
On June 14, 2025, Eva Webb​, Nature Educator for Fox Island County Park was the guest speaker. Eva is a good friend of the green community in Northeast Indiana. She has collaborated with L.C. Nature Park, Eagle Marsh, the Fort Wayne Dance Collective and school corporations. She brings her expertise of nature and her joy for the earth to all ages from preschoolers to senior citizens. She does this in a multimodal way. 
 
Eva can lecture and provide facts. She also engages the creative community using poetry and art to understand nature and to express awe. One of her favorite techniques, to emphasize learning and to build community is to engage audiences with drum circles. 
 
So, on June 14th Eva gave the audience an update on the state of Fox Island County Park post-derecho. This included making the park more accessible for people of all abilities. It included a description of the restoration after the loss of 4000 trees in 15 minutes, and it included a description of programming for the community. Afterwards she engaged the audience of Breakfast on the Marsh with a demonstration of how drum circles can engage people, excite people, and facilitate learning. It was a unique and fun Breakfast on the Marsh. ​
