New! Roots and Shoots Club

This spring we had the privilege of meeting Jane Goodall when she spoke at FAU. She inspired us to join her powerful worldwide group by starting our own Sunflower Roots and Shoots Club for children 6-12. The purpose of the group is to plan and organize service projects showing care and concern for the environment, animals and the human community. The first group was started by Jane in 1991 in Africa. Since then it has grown to more than 90 different countries around the world. The mission is to foster respect and compassion for all living things, to promote understanding of all cultures and beliefs and to inspire each individual to take action to make the world a better place for the environment, animals and people. We are currently working with the Milagro Center, Green Cay Nature Center and Gumbo Limbo Nature Center to plan our first year. Our Kick Off Event will be in late August or early September.
