"Teaching
Nature Awareness and Stewardship"
"Our
ideals, laws and customs should be based on the proposition
that each generation, in turn, becomes the custodian rather than
the absolute owner of our resources and each generation has the
obligation to pass this inheritance on to the future."
--
Charles A. Lindbergh

Benefits to Program Participants
- Participants
will learn to enjoy outdoor activities without causing avoidable impact
to the land and wildlife or detracting from the outdoor experience of
others.
- They
will better appreciate how their actions can impact the
land and other people.
- Participants
will be provided opportunities to
develop and/or enhance positive feelings for any natural environment
they find themselves in.
- ROAR
will assist them in developing or
improving their own nature awareness, conservation and stewardship
ethics.
These
ethics will be based on understanding their individual consideration
and responsibility for everything around them, including the land,
wildlife and other people. Each participant will discover that
consideration for public resources and other people can enhance all
aspects of their life. They will learn that all actions they take are
based on relationships to, or with, themselves, another person and/or
natural resource. Participants will learn/be reminded that all
relationships in life depend on our consideration of, and for, others
and their surroundings. Personal relationships will improve.
Consideration for others, including people they don't know, will
increase which will lead them to be more courteous to all they come in
contact with.
