Connecting Children to Nature
Presented by
The Spirit of
Alexandria Foundation
and the
Howell
Conference and Nature Center
The Spirit of
Alexandria Foundation was created to carry on the legacy of
Alexandria Bennett, a little girl whose passion for nature was
evident to
everyone around her. Through this Foundation, it is her family and
friends mission to help children experience nature and all its
wonderment.

Alexandria's Nature Bus will arrive at a school. The two to three
naturalists that will accompany the bus will have hands-on theme
based
activities for half the class to learn from on-board the bus, while
the
other half will be educated by live animals that the handlers will
share.
The Nature
Bus is will be used as a tool to bring nature to
kids in hopes of teaching them about the world around them
and how to protect it now and for the future.
The Spirit of Alexandria Foundation is a 501c3
non-profit organization
created by her family and friends to help fund projects and programs
that bring
kids to nature. The Foundation relies upon the generous support of
private citizens,
foundations and corporations to help achieve its goal. Starting in
the fall of 2009,
The Spirit of Alexandria Foundation will start to award grants to
schools for
classroom field trips to the Howell Conference & Nature Center or a
visit by
Alexandria's Nature Bus. For teachers and parents interested in
applying,
