I am lucky to have a career where I get to introduce kiddos to outdoor experiences such as canoeing, archery, building forts and fires, catching their first fish, and much more! Seeing the excitement that these kids have, reminds me that many NEVER get to experience basic outdoor activities that we take for granted, much less receive quality environmental education.
If our youth doesn't have an understanding of environmental concepts, and an appreciation for the natural world, how can we expect them to become stewards of the land, and ensure future generations have the same opportunities? This is a mission that is near and dear to my heart, as spending time in the great outdoors has had such a positive impact on my life, and really shaped me to be the person I am today.
Please join me in supporting KACEE, so we can continue to reach students across the state with quality environmental education.
