„Die Menschheit war noch nie so von der Natur getrennt wie jetzt. Der Bedarf an mitfühlenden Führern, die weise mit den Wegen des Waldes umgehen, war noch nie so wichtig -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_Unsere Kinder sind darauf angewiesen, dass wir sie auf eine ungewisse Zukunft vorbereiten, und es ist düster, sich ein Leben ohne die Natur vorzustellen. Jetzt ist es an der Zeit, die Saat dafür zu säen will grow a future for all life on this planet." _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -136bad5cf58d_

"Our children depend on us to prepare them for a changing, uncertain world.
Now is the time to plant the seeds of understanding and leadership, that will grow a future for everyone and all life on this planet." -Ricardo Sierra

Ricardo Sierra
Ricardo's journey into nature education began in 1985 as a summer camp counselor, augmenting his own wilderness skills training that continues today. Over the last 35 years, he has led, taught, directed and facilitated programs in summer camps, day long workshops, intensive trainings, after school programs and festivals, (and others).
He's an advocate for getting our youth connected to nature and brings a wealth of knowledge hard won from decades of experience.
He enjoys helping people build their own uniquely inspired programs and building positive mentoring relationships with anyone who is passionate about helping the world be a better place.
Listen to Ricardo's TEDx Talk on Saving the iGeneration from Nature Deficit Disorder
Ricardo shares the concept of the 'Natural Advantage' , which is so important to help all of us mitigate the residual effects of the Digital Age and what we can do to help ensure that future generations can build a lasting connection to the natural world.
