Our Mission

We teach children concepts in Environmental Science, Sustainability, and the unique ecosystems that surrounds them. During the earliest stages of their educational development, we encourage kids to think in new ways about the world around them through activities, experiments, and discussions, inspiring them to bring the message of environmental stewardship home to their families and friends. In this way, we cultivate the next generation of passionate caretakers of the Earth and promote sustainability from the youngest members of society up.
