About The Ecology Connection
Mission:
To facilitate outdoor experiences for youth and adults, in ecology, through hands-on activities, games, and explorations in nature. To grow our community through self-development and discovery by connecting with ourselves, each other, and with nature.
Vision:
We envision a world in which everyone understands and appreciates the interconnectedness of the natural world. As humans, we see how we fit into that picture, and how we can affect positive change in our ecosystems and communities.
Goals::
- To facilitate positive experiences in nature, encourage curiosity, and explore the nature through hands-on student driven games and activities.
- To explore how our culture interacts with and relies on nature, and find our personal connection to the natural world.
- To build community around healthy children, healthy families, and healthy ecosystems.
