Our Youth Speak Up

About This Collection

Let's hear from our children, and their advocates, on the social, environmental, cultural, and economic concerns around sustainability and the call to always act responsibly and with the next seven generations in mind. The collection will also feature, from time to time, adults who are speaking on behalf of children. 

To add to this collection email children@earthsayers.com.  Thank you.

Lynnea Shuck, 2014 Brower Youth Award Winner
October 29, 2014

Lynnea Shuck launched the Junior Refuge Ranger Program at the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Inspired by her volunteer experience, she created the program to educate youth about the vital role wildlife refuges play in protecting threatened and endangered species.

Through labs, hikes, and birding expeditions, the program teaches children aged 8-11 about conservation, habitat restoration, and environmental awareness. Participants gain an appreciation for nature and their role in its protection. Shuck aims to expand this successful initiative to all 555 refuges in the National Wildlife Refuge System, providing a "How-To Guide" for easy implementation.
