Our Mission is to empower children and their families by teaching the core ethics and design principles of permaculture through engaging outdoor field trips, courses, and workshops. With a focus on sustainable energy and resource management, children explore natural environments which require critical thinking and calculated risks to learn to evaluate potential dangers and make informed choices about how to proceed. Safety is our top priority. Families come to LBNC meet-ups to learn how to prepare for and to navigate potential hazards which could be encountered in natural spaces such as wild animals, toxic plants and extreme weather conditions.
