The education needs to be age appropriate - not scary. Kids in inner cities might have little connection with the outdoors or wildlife. However, those who are educated about the environment tend to take better care of their own community spaces and have an increased awareness about how they can make a difference. It feels like the right thing to do. If we want kids to care about the Earth, their own environment, and nature in general – they need an awareness and some education about why it is important.
