Empowering People to Connect with and Care for
Land, Air, Water and Living Things

Nature is the best classroom
- Heidi Ferris

Knowing what to do for the environment can feel overwhelming. 

There are so many conflicting messages and things to add to your to-do list (recycle, compost, find out how to forgo single-use plastic)…

Meanwhile corporations are pouring tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere nonstop.

It feels like your contributions make zero difference. 

How can we, as individuals, community members and organizations grow hope, stay empowered and take proactive action?

The good news is that small changes can make big impacts

And the most impactful change of all is the one you make right
where you live, work and play.
