Nurturing a Love for the Great Outdoors: Inspiring Young Environmental Leaders

The Salish Sea, a rare and unique inland sea, is home to magnificent marine life that depends on our commitment to equip and inspire passionate young stewards. To preserve this incredible ecosystem for generations to come, we must empower our young leaders who hold a deep appreciation for its health and well-being.

A key factor in cultivating this passion lies in connecting these future stewards with the great outdoors. By immersing them in nature, we spark their curiosity and love for the environment. This deep connection to the natural world fuels their desire to protect the Salish Sea and its diverse inhabitants.

In essence, the Salish Sea and today’s youth need each other now more than ever!
