Latest Activity: Apr 25

The Natural Leaders Network empowers a worldwide youth movement to strengthen the bond between children and nature.
A movement is here. It has arrived and it needs leaders. A legacy lies ready to be written and the ink for that legacy is within the energy of a young diverse generation.
The 2012 Legacy Camp!

Twenty-four young Americans participated in the 2012 Natural Leaders Legacy Camp from August 31 – September 5, 2012 at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, with generous support from The North Face, the REI Foundation, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

Hello Everyone

I've been asked to locate and source advice and guidance about the humane killing and eating of animals as part of an outdoor session with children and young people.

 

I have been told by a friend that he thought this may be more common in the US. I'm particularly interested in know about small animals such as rabbits, chickens and fish.

 

Many thanks in advance

Juliet

Ever consider creating a listserv to email out events like the outdoor nation? or is there a listserv that I'm just not on that would have told me about it?  I would have loved to have gone.
