OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES

1. The work of noted eco-theologian Thomas Berry, renowned scientist George Washington Carver, and noted conservationist Aldo Leopold, must be carried forth into the future.
2. The human spirit needs a deeper relationship with the environment to fully realize the human potential.
3. The human-earth relationship is innately fundamental to human well-being and must be protected and nurtured.
4. All children and adults can benefit from learning about their world through hands-on activities.
5. Teachers need engaging means of helping students develop an understanding of scientific principles.

6. Through ecosystem restoration projects, humans will find inner restoration with all relationships.
7. Personal involvement in such activities will motivate student’s creativity and imagination, impart critical thinking skills, and ultimately enhance character traits.

"..IF THE OUTER WORLD IS DIMINISHED IN ITS GRANDEUR, THEN THE EMOTIONAL, IMAGINATIVE, INTELLECTUAL, AND SPIRITUAL LIFE OF THE HUMAN IS DIMINISHED OR EXTINGUISHED.
WITHOUT THE SOARING BIRDS, THE GREAT FORESTS, THE SOUNDS AND COLORATION OF THE INSECTS, THE FREE-FLOWING STREAMS, THE FLOWERING FIELDS, THE SIGHT OF THE CLOUDS BY DAY AND THE STARS AT NIGHT, WE BECOME IMPOVERISHED IN ALL THAT MAKES US HUMAN.” 
​

“CIVILIZATION HAS SO CLUTTERED THIS ELEMENTAL MAN-EARTH RELATIONSHIP WITH GADGETS AND MIDDLEMEN THAT AWARENESS OF IT IS GROWING DIM. WE FANCY THAT INDUSTRY SUPPORTS US, FORGETTING WHAT SUPPORTS INDUSTRY."
