If our young people do

not spend time outside or have a basic understanding of science and ethics, how can we expect them to handle the environmental challenges they are sure to face in the years ahead? 

​

KEEN teaches with the whole picture in mind and we understand that our environmental, social, and economic needs and actions are all intertwined.

What affects one, affects all three.

 

We work to improve our community's understanding of this model through youth and adult programming, special events, strategic partnerships, and barrier-free access to nature.
