Teaching kids to care
AED is working to teach children to care about their natural and civic environments. Where and how we live is connected to our natural environment. By walking, bussing, and experiencing nature in public as well as protected places, we work to give children a sense of responsibility for our shared spaces as well as a deep appreciation for the natural world.
