Dr. Carri LeRoy, SPP’s Director for Evergreen, was published in Science, one of the best-regarded journals in the world! She describes her experience presenting a nature drawing workshop in prison, “outside the tower” of typical academia.

TED (Technology, Education and Design), a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, featured our co-founder Dan Pacholke’s talk on the future of prisons. His presentation was made at the TEDx event hosted by Monroe Correctional Complex outside of Seattle, WA, only the second ever TED event in a prison.

In 2016, PBS NewsHour visited SPP’s butterfly greenhouse and a release on a nearby prairie. The 8-minute piece captures the beauty and partnership that has drawn international attention to the Taylor’s Checkerspot Butterfly program at Mission Creek Corrections Center.

New! Summer 2023: SPP’s newest program, Avian Acoustic Monitoring, is featured on BirdNote’s June 21, 2023 episode.

Journalists in 2015 published several stories on garden programs in prisons and the benefits they bring.
