As a first step, the Group acknowledges the importance of teaching the local children respect for nature, sound principles of preservation, and environmental accountability. To meet this goal we conducted a variety of environmental classes, workshops and field projects for young people ages 7 to 17. These classes are taught by University students from South and Central Americal.

The Group has also conducted numerous community and wildland clean-up campaigns and other outreach programs geared to improve the public health and welfare.
