Our goal is to provide creative and educational opportunities to cultivate purposeful community environmental literacy.
What We Do
We provide:
Environmental education resources
Classes and workshops focused on environmental topics
Environmental project consultations and collaborations
We foster interactive, experiential, and creative learning opportunities with educators and environmentalists from a variety of backgrounds and perspectives.
Environmental Education is an interdisciplinary field of educational programming that emphasizes the study of environmental issues with consideration for their scientific, political, economic, social, and cultural impacts.
The PETAL Project
We combine the expressions of our creativity and imagination with the development of environmental literacy and community building skills.
Environmental Literacy is achieved through a more comprehensive understanding of environmental issues with a rich mixture of teaching strategies, subject matter, learning locations, and multi-disciplinary complexity.
Our Community
We are a shared community of environmentalists, educators, ecologists, naturalists, activists, artists, creative placemakers, and community builders that seek to cultivate environmental action and nurture caring relationships with the living and nonliving entities we share the environment with.
Our Education is based in Community
We create learning opportunities through community involvement & engagement.
We are currently based in North Texas.
Land Acknowledgment
We acknowledge the land we primarily reside within - the land of the Wichita, Tawakoni, Caddo, and Kiikaapoo nations. These tribes have stewarded this land throughout the generations and we would like to pay our respects to elders, both past and present. We acknowledge indigenous peoples and natural entities have sustainably lived with this land for time immemorial.
