Why I am walking the Colorado Trail for Nature Education…

I have always been interested in education …as a music teacher, as an alternative education activist, as a parent, and now as a grandparent. And I’ve always been into Nature, as a naturalist, as a hiker, as a backpacker. So putting these two passions together has been a very natural process for me. As I became aware of the growing disconnect between young people and the natural world, so well named by Richard Louv in the phrase “Nature-deficit disorder,” I realized that children need first-hand experiences in Nature if they are to grow up to be tomorrow’s Nature advocates. And Nature so needs advocates. Children also need connection and interaction with the natural world for their own healthy development as people. This all ultimately led me to create the Mountain Park Environmental Center, our many programs, and, now, this fund-raising hike.
