We offer a protected green space and a healthy, supportive community learning environment for residents and participants in programs and the wider local and global communities.

THE STORY OF STUFF
We watched it as a family a few weeks ago and Sierra was wide eyed watching the whole thing! After it was done she gave her doll Rainbow a big hug and said “I LOVE YOU and I am so glad you aren’t made from plastic”. She also said she wants to help save the world.. So we sat down with her and came up with some ideas of things she can do to help the environment. She drew it out as a mindmap with Daddy, on there was recycle, pick up garbage, plant a garden, carve wooden toys (and teach other kids too), clean up trails and beaches and teach people to not burn garbage and plant trees. She came up with these on her own which was a proud Mommy and Daddy moment.
