Yes and YES! Having just labored over my end of the year appeal and writing:
"When we think about preserving land for sensitive species and for the benefit of our communities, Rivers & Lands Conservancy’s staff think about perpetuity. The lands we conserve are meant to be protected and stewarded forever, and that means we need to reach out a hand to the generation who will take our place. The kids we work with are our future.
We believe that if we do not introduce them to future career paths, inspire them to care about open and wild spaces, and connect with them personally, all of our work may not persevere. We know that we are working with future voters, biologists, leaders, and beneficiaries of conservation."
This is SUCH important work and we struggle to figure out how to expand our capacity and be of greater assistance to our local teachers. In the meantime, I'm just going to keep reading your thoughts and pondering... Thank you!
