Leaders: Welcoming Environmentors
Each of our teachers, learners and local volunteers is an eager and
knowledgeable "environmentor", who is excited about sharing his or
her ecological values, expertise and enthusiasm with visiting learners.
We are ready to facilitate nature-based, experiential and fun learning
activities in an atmosphere of exploration, wonder and community.
