The African environmentalist, Baba Dioum stated, “In the end we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand and we will understand only what we are taught". Many of us are past the age of formal education; however, there are many wonderful opportunities to continue to learn about nature. This section of the website is dedicated to bringing those opportunities to your attention.
