Friends of Five Rivers is dedicated to cultivating this stewardship by providing transformative educational experiences for youth and adults alike, as well as relaying the importance of the environment to our overall well-being. We believe that by fostering a deep understanding and appreciation for the natural world, we empower individuals to become lifelong advocates for environmental sustainability.
Our programs directly address the need to:
- Educate the next generation: We provide hands-on learning opportunities that connect youth with nature, cultivating a sense of wonder and responsibility. Thus, not only encouraging future scientists, but also equipping students with the skills and knowledge necessary to become effective stewards of the earth.
- Promote environmental awareness and outdoor engagement: We encourage families to appreciate and care for nature by enjoying its sights and sounds, emphasizing the health and joy of outdoor activity.
