BLM-UT-Monticello "More Kids in the Woods"

archived

This opportunity is to promote and stimulate public purposes such as education, job training, productive community involvement, and furthering the understanding and appreciation of natural and cultural resources through the involvement of local youth and young adults in the care and enhancement of public resources. Reconnecting young people with the natural world is one of the key outcomes. Developing an environmental ethic and ethic of service are goals. Environmental values, based on Native traditions will be introduced and discussed. Participants in the program will be encouraged to share their traditional knowledge. Problem solving conversations will be initiated to gain an understanding of how much the participants know, what their experience with the natural world has been.
