Dear South Coast Permaculture Community,
This summer Ventura WILD will be offering
week-long nature connection day camps for kids in the Ventura River Watershed (Ojai, Oak View and Ventura).
Baba Dioum, a Senegalese ecologist, said:
“In the end, we
will conserve only what we love...” And
the focus of Ventura WILD is to
fuel that "love." Ecological literacy is a critical piece, but
intellectual understanding falls flat without a personal and
experiential connection with the natural world.
I am attaching a poster and
including an informational blurb (below) for you to send by email to
any other folks that you can think of... friends, family, co-workers,
everyone!
With Love,
Sara Brooke
