“Children grow up hearing how broken the environment is, how broken beyond repair. Plant strawberries together, make wild medicines, paint the sunrise. Show them proof that for every act of destruction, they can sow a seed, however small, of beauty.”
"Children deserve to grow and learn in a place & alongside a force that is as wild and alive as they are."
- Nicolette Sowder
Belief
"To raise a nature-bonded child is to raise a rebel, a dreamer, an innovator… someone who will walk their own verdant, winding path."

Personal Growth
"Show the children every winged thing. The bees, dragonflies, queen ants, bluebirds, luna moths & swallowtails. Creatures that inspire them to defy gravity."
- Nicolette Sowder
Inspiration
"Encouraging a child to go outside in all weather builds resilience, but more importantly it saves them from spending their life merely tolerating the ‘bad’ days in favour of a handful of ‘good’ ones – a life of endless expectations and conditions where happiness hinges on sunshine."

Resilience
"Children deserve to grow and learn in a place and alongside a force that is as wild and alive as they are."

"Technology is destructive only in the hands of people who do not realize that they are one and the same process as the universe."

Environment
"Inability to accept the mystic experience is more than an intellectual handicap. Lack of awareness of the basic unity of organism and environment is a serious and dangerous hallucination. For in a civilization equipped with immense technological power, the sense of alienation between man and nature leads to the use of technology in a hostile spirit—to the 'conquest' of nature instead of intelligent co-operation with nature."
- Alan Watts
Environment
"Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but photos, kill nothing but time."
Environment
"Bees are a sign of environmental health. A world without bees is a world that has lost its way."
