We envision a planet where all humankind holds a reverence for our dependency on the community and diversity of life; where we take responsibility for our role as members, and not masters, of earth’s living community; where we humbly embrace Mother Earth as a teacher and a nurturer; where children and adults alike confidently greet the natural world as both a playground and a safe home; where we salute growth, discovery, knowledge, resiliency, integrity, and muddy boots.
