Warm greetings from Ange and EarthWalk!

 

I am excited to share some good news with you: 

​

EarthWalk's mission and vision are going strong in service to, and with a love for, children and this earth! We are growing an extended EarthWalk family, and caring learning community rooted in the land, in Danville, Vermont, at the Fairbanks Museum Nature Preserve!

​

Effective December 15th we will be an official 501c3 non-profit organization: EarthWalk Together, Inc.

​

It was twenty years ago, when I founded EarthWalk, with the mission to inspire, and empower children, families and communities to reconnect with and care for one another and the earth.

 

EarthWalk Vermont, (2005-2021), on the Goddard Campus in Plainfield, was a vibrant learning community; in its peak, annually serving over 300 families with multiple year-round programs for all ages.

​

Since EarthWalk Vermont (organization) closed, I have continued to carry out EarthWalk’s mission and vision, offering programs to local families, schools and libraries. In January 2024, I was invited to grow a partnership with the  Fairbanks Museum (est. 1889), in a 500-acre forest in Danville (where we are now).

 

In the summer of 2024, twelve Teen Land Stewards were offered a stipend for a week of camp, to prepare the site, measure and cut the poles, and lash and build a shelter for EarthWalk programs. We now offer Summer Camps, a Forest School and Adult Forest Workshops. serving the local community.

 

I'm continually grateful to the many children, families, community members, elders and all the partners and collaborators who love and support EarthWalk!

​

For the children and the earth!
