Business Leaders Reconnect Children to Nature

Are you in the Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC business community and want to help reconnect Children to nature? Wondering what you can do besides supporting regional and national campaigns to connect children to nature?

Help your community in a more targeted effort by supporting Ancestral Knowledge, such as funding a bus service for under-budgeted school nature field trips hosted by AK, funding under-served children to attend AK Camps or, even, sponsoring an AK event at a local school. Become a financial sponsor of AK as we work to connect children and parents to nature.

You can sponsor AK outdoor classrooms for schools. You can underwrite AK to build a nature center with locally provided nature programs for vulnerable children, or help AK join with a land trust organization to protect open space—and build AK family nature centers on that land.

For your own employees, business employers can sponsor on-site nature-based child-care centers, as well as nature retreats for employees and their families. Businesses can also help to fund research, e.g., to gather knowledge on how best to create child/nature friendly homes and neighborhoods. Such research could focus on the relationship between nature experience and worker productivity, health, reduced absenteeism, and so forth.

In any event, get involved in your community.
