Environmental Awareness and Kids

Hello all-

I wanted to take this opportunity to highlight the individuals and organizations who received grants for our PEAK program (Promoting Environmental Awareness with Kids).

Through grant proposals, pictures, and testimonials, these individuals/organizations have demonstrated great efforts in connecting kids with the outdoors.
