Be self-aware of our own privileges and biases.
Honor and highlight others' voices and unique lived experiences.
Be active listeners.
Facilitate a welcoming, fun, and inclusive outdoor education experience.
Raise awareness about public lands and instill an environmental conservation ethic.
Offer knowledge and guiding principles for responsible outdoor recreation.

We are also proud members of the Woodsy Owl Conservation Corps and are excited to impart his conservation messages! woodsyowl
