Through the Great Plains Student Conservation Camps, one of our longest-running programs, we are reaching students and teachers both in their communities and in Great Plains’ camps with environmental and conservation education.
Since the program began more than ten years ago, hundreds of children have benefitted from the program in both Kenya and Botswana. Through informal social activities, like sports and games, students form bonds with conservation mentors and see positive examples of local professionals working to protect their fragile ecosystems. Conservation education provides a way to engage youth with the natural world at a pivotal time in their lives. The Great Plains Foundation believes that through thoughtful engagement, environmental education, fun and mentorship, youth in communities that border protected land can learn to appreciate the uniqueness of their ecosystems and become champions for the land and animals they live among.
A gift of $500 will allow us to host conservation lessons which teach the importance of conservation, ecosystems and wildlife influencing the next generation of conservationists.
