    More about the team

    Education

    We believe an environmental education helps kids understand the inter-connectedness of the world around them.

    Participation

    We believe the best way to understand the environment is to experience it for yourself. In our programs kids dig in the dirt, test their own scientific theories, and learn about nature and sustainability with their own two hands.

    Awareness

    We believe if we do not expose our kids to nature when they are young, they will not value it enough to protect it when they are adults. It is our mission to supply our kids the tools they need to manage the environmental obstacles of the future.

    Responsibility

    Where we come from, when something is important, you show up. We encourage our Green Explorers to get involved in their community, and through our classes we connect them to a variety of citizen science projects where their support can make a real difference.

    Let's talk! Feel free to get ahold of us with any questions.
