Igniting a sense of environmental stewardship &
encouraging community engagement for local youth.

Junior Forest League (JFL) is a monthly program which focuses on various environmental topics specific to Southern Indiana. League members will have the chance to engage with their local ecosystem, collaborate with like-minded Evansville peers, and (most importantly) participate in fun team building activities and games.

Each Saturday, we will focus on a new topic, incorporating animal encounters, guided hikes, citizen-science projects, and science projects/activities. We make specific adjustments to each session to match Indiana Academic Standards and Earth Charter principles.

Saturdays will be a day of forest exploration for your children!

-----------------------------------------

Tulip League is for children ages 6 to 8, and Maple League is for children ages 9 to 12.
Please ensure you select the correct league for your child's age group!
