Program overview

Through engaging, hands-on activities, we teach children the importance of a healthy environment, why it needs protection, and how they can help every day. Our program focuses on three core themes:

  • Ecosystem Services: What are some of the many ways that we depend on nature each and every day?Web of Life
  • Human Impacts (Grades 4 and 5 only): How is human activity harming nature and the ecosystem services we depend on?
  • Eco-Conscious Kid: What can we do to minimize these impacts and protect nature each and every day?

These concepts are explored through games, crafts, demonstrations, and real-world activities.
