What does my ticket support?

• Supports nature-based professional development including free teacher training and networking opportunities, practical tools and resources, and scholarship aid. Our vital training allows teachers to share the benefits of nature-based education with thousands of children each year. Your support helps make training accessible to teachers across the nation and around the world.
  
  

• Supports Forest Days Outdoor Learning Programs for nearly 175 K-1st graders based in a Title 1 elementary school and the Seedlings caregiver/child outdoor playgroups held at local Judy Centers in underserved communities.
  
  

• Supports Notchcliff Nature Programs in the greater Baltimore region which provides immersive nature-based learning and play in partnership with a retirement community. Notchcliff is our 'lab forest school' serving children, families, and senior citizens, as well as teachers who visit for training. Your support helps provide financial aid to families in need and develop the outdoor classrooms, gardens, and nature play spaces at Notchcliff.
  

• Supports advocacy efforts to increase access to nature-based education. ANBE is a leading advocate in Maryland providing resources and support to the Maryland State Department of Education (and participating providers) engaged in the Outdoor Preschool Licensing Pilot. We also offer leadership through the Outdoor Learning Partnership at the State level and through advocacy efforts with partners across the U.S.
