Environmental Education Purpose
The Little Traverse Conservancy recognizes the importance of environmental education. For more than a decade, the Conservancy has offered programs and activities to foster a greater understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of the natural environment. In 2008, more than 7000 students were involved in Conservancy education programs. In addition to the students, more than 500 parents and teachers attended and assisted with the activities. The Conservancy's environmental education programs reach approximately 50 schools, public and non-traditional, as well as homeschool groups and scout troops. Some of the schools include: Brimley, Rudyard, Pickford, Mackinac Island, St. Ignace, Moran Township, and Cedarville in the upper Peninsula. In the lower Peninsula, classes from Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Mackinac City, Indian River, Littlefield, Pellston, Boyne City, Ellsworth, East Jordan, Beaver Island, and Boyne Falls have been involved in our programs.
