!["There is an extinction of experience taking place, with adults and youth spending less time in nature, but we are reversing this trend," writes VP of Engagement & Education Keith Williams. "To that end, Lancaster Conservancy ran 177 interpretive events that reached 5,700 people [in 2024], and 25 of those were school programs that brought 1,400 students into nature. The students we served [last] year came from a variety of districts including School District of Lancaster, Penn Manor, Conestoga Valley, Donegal, and York City."
Lancaster Conservancy’s K-12 school program is where we focus on teaching skills and sharing knowledge to prepare the future stewards of the lands and waters we protect today.
Learn more about how we are welcoming students into nature in the blog "Reversing the Extinction of Experience: Nature Education for the Next Generation" at the link in our bio!
