Our team studies how people relate to ecosystems, with three foci:
  • non-material values, relationships, and benefits from ecosystems (including cultural ecosystem services and relational values),
  • environmental education, and
  • how equity and "environmental" issues intertwine.
Welcome to Assistant Professor Rachelle Gould's research group. We are housed in the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources and Environmental Program at the University of Vermont.

We work closely with partners to conduct interdisciplinary research on environmental values and learning. We have multiple ongoing projects, in places from Vermont to New York City to Hawaiʻi.  See the links above to learn more.
