Help Stamp out Nature Deficit Syndrome
Help Needed on Jan 24th for an outing for children who reside at the Homeless Assistance Center and for children served by Redland Christian Migrant Association The Returned Peace Corp Volunteers (RPCV) has a project to expose underprivileged kids to enrichment experiences. RPCV will gather the group, transport them , handle all logistics and supervision. What they would like to have from TAS are Birders who would meet the group at 8:30 on Saturday January 24th at the Coe Visitor Center. The whole group would go to the Anhinga Trail where the Birders would go with a small group , act as guides and share the wonder of the Everglades. A picnic lunch will be served at Long Key and then a pineland walk with the Birders again acting as guides. The kids would range from elementary age through high school. Small groups would generally be according to age. We do not have to have World Champion Birders just reasonably knowledgeable , who get along with kids and are willing. Ideally the smaller the groups, the better. Trips to the Everglades may be common for you, but this experience can be transformative for the kids. To volunteer email volunteer@tropical Aduubon.org or call (305) 310-2501 or (786) 543-1926
