Our mission is to raise awareness and advocate for human beings being outdoors and appreciating nature. What that advocacy looks like on the individual scale: - having a garden, growing ones own food - blogging about outdoor time vs screen time - bird watching - donating to environmental causes - working in political settings to get environmental legislation passed - purchasing and holding land, to remain undeveloped, to keep natural spaces for wildlife This scholarship is funded in honor of Robert Ciocan, an avid hiker, kayaker, fisherman, and naturalist.
