Marijke Hecht studies how young people develop relationships with nature and place, particularly in urban settings, and how educators and community programs can support this kind of learning. Their work often uses ideas from ecosystem science as a way of thinking about how learning happens across schools, museums, and out-of-school programs, with attention to equity and to rethinking the divide between humans and the natural world.
Publication output rose from 2018 to a peak around 2019-2021 and has since slowed to about one publication per year in recent years.
