OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
There's
nothing like being outdoors to connect with
nature. The Hawai段 Nature Center has
resources to help students, teachers,
hikers, and visitors.
The Hawai段 Nature Center began in 1981 as a
project of The Outdoor Circle. Since then
more than 800,000 children and adults have
participated in environmental education
programs. The Hawai段 Nature Center is
recognized as the only organization in the
state dedicated to educating children about
Hawai段's unique environment.
The Hawai'i Nature Center's original field
site is located on O'ahu in Makiki Valley,
just minutes from urban Honolulu, recently
called the most densely populated urban
center in the United States. Utilizing the
Makiki Valley field site, and additional
remote field sites such as Pu'u Ualaka'a
State Park and the Honouliuli National
Wildlife Refuge, the Hawai'i Nature Center
on O'ahu has grown from providing programs
for 2,000 school children in 1981 to nearly
25,000 today. These programs now include a
different conceptual focus and unique
ecosystems for each grade level. Our goal is
to continue to grow by adding new programs,
increasing field sites and securing
additional funding sources.
The Hawai段 Nature Center provides school
programs plus nature education programs for
families and adults. Our weekend and
community nature programs have reached more
than 25,000 island families a year.
By fostering a respect for nature, the
Hawai段 Nature Center is confident that
children can impress upon future generations
the importance of protecting their planet. |
