National Wildlife Federation granted host status from FEE to establish Eco-Schools programming for the United States

In December 2008, the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) was granted host status for K-12 schools in the United States by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE).  This honor - this charge - fits seamlessly with NWF's work to promote environmental education, connect people with nature and raise awareness about the impacts to people and wildlife from climate change.

Brain Child Press

 Brain Child Press was founded to respond to the growing childhood obesity epidemic and the dual crises of poor health and low literacy in the U.S.  We saw the expanding need for attractive, easy-to-read educational materials that address topics essential to the healthy development of children. Since 2005 our materials have been used around the nation by agencies, programs, and individuals working toward healthier  families and communities.

Pilot Light

Mission
Pilot Light’s mission is to support teachers in creating food-based classroom lessons that support children with the knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and skills they need to have healthy relationships with food. To do that, Pilot Light has developed a cohesive model for classroom food education, incorporating food as a lens for traditional subjects, such as Math, Reading, History, and Science in K-12 classrooms.

Mobile Greenhouse Project

The Mobile Greenhouse Project is designed as a way to make food growing fun and interesting for kids and adults.

I travel with my converted school bus to schools and events and offer my services to install gardens at schools, clubs and churches. I also help with community gardens and private residence gardens.

Perry County Farm to School

The Perry County Farm to School Program benefits over 4,000 Perry County students in the rural Appalachian Mountains of Eastern Kentucky. An obstacle of being in the Appalachian region is that resources are limited, but in Perry County there is a community movement to combat those limitations by providing a support framework for healthier communities.
