Rushton Nature Keepers (RNK)provides youth (ages 8-11) with unique opportunities to develop a meaningful relationship with nature, which will fuel a lifelong desire to protect the environment. RNK is focused on shaping and empowering these future conservationists while nurturing a spirit of discovery and wonder. We offer regular programs covering four conservation themes including: birds and wildlife, regenerative farming, watersheds, and healthy habitat.
Our Objectives for Your Child:
Create a conservation ethic by showing the importance of preserving open space.
Connect personally to nature and foster lifelong respect for the natural world.
Nurture a spirit of discovery and wonder.
Develop observation skills and understanding of science beyond the classroom.
Recognize the connection of wildlife, farming, and watersheds.
Understand how people can help create and preserve healthy habitats.
Appreciate the origins of the food we eat and how nature and agriculture can flourish together.
Demonstrate the positive role humans can play in the natural world.
Foster an awareness of how everyday personal choices can help the planet.
