Your Support Creates Champions of Nature
On a sunny day in May the five-year-olds at Creekside Forest School who were “graduating” to kindergarten were each given a wooden medallion with the words “Champion of Nature” written in bold letters. The children’s pride was obvious as they showed their medallions to their classmates and teachers.
When asked what it meant to be a ‘Champion of Nature’ these young children had answers well beyond their years that were formed by hundreds of hours spent outside engaging with plants, wildlife, and the seasons. “It means to take care of nature. And to just let nature be,” said one preschooler. Another answered simply, “It means helping nature.”
Building meaningful relationships with nature is the core of Indian Creek Nature Center’s mission. Stewarding 400 acres of wetlands, prairies, and woodlands. Offering immersive outdoor experiences. Hosting nature-inspired events. Leading educational programs. Modeling sustainable living.
Everything is aimed at creating more Champions of Nature — and everything depends on nature lovers like you who make it possible.
