Join Katie in Growing Environmental Learning!

You’ve always believed in the power of environmental and outdoor learning to help all of us explore, discover, and ask questions about the world around us — and most importantly, to care for it.

This year, educators faced unprecedented challenges — from the elimination of our AmeriCorps grant, which was restored thanks to relentless community advocacy, to ongoing threats to funding and shifting conditions that made their work harder than ever. Yet educators continued showing up, innovating, and inspiring everyone to grow knowledge, curiosity, and care for our communities and the natural world.

YOU can ensure that these dedicated educators — nature’s gardeners — have the tools, training, and connections they need to succeed. By increasing access to professional learning, bringing educators together to share ideas and generate solutions, and celebrating the work they do, you help strengthen the entire community.

Your unshakeable belief in the power of environmental and outdoor learning empowers the network of educators who bring hands-on experiences and collaborative opportunities to thousands of learners across Colorado. You make it possible for curiosity to flourish, questions to be asked, and discoveries to spark deeper connections with nature.

We can’t build something stronger without you. Together, we can tend the garden today and grow a thriving, vibrant community of educators and learners tomorrow — rooted in courage, care, and a shared commitment to protecting our world for generations to come.
