GOAL: Young people understand the importance of healthy forests as it relates to their home community including the unique economic relationship that exists within a "Gateway Forest Community".
The Eco Stewardship model of experiential education and other experientially based service learning projects are used to create opportunities for youth to develop the critical thinking skills necessary for becoming healthy, productive and knowledgeable members of their communities. |
