ChariTree Foundation

From little things, big things grow:​ Canada’s ChariTree Foundation creates and supports national and international children’s environmental education programs. 

“Let’s give kids opportunities to fall in love with nature in order to protect it ~ because you protect what you love,” says Andrea Koehle Jones, founder and executive director of The ChariTree Foundation. “These days many children have less time and fewer opportunities to connect with nature. This is a real loss because research shows that contact with nature makes kids feel better about themselves.” 

Millions of children around the world are already affected by climate change. The ChariTree Foundation​ supports children’s and teen school and summer camp environmental education programs across Canada and around the globe. It’s about getting kids outside more ~ and giving them opportunities to learn, connect with nature and contribute positively to their ever-changing world.
