The Rainforest Action Movement works to raise awareness about the values and destruction of tropical rainforests. Efforts focus on individual empowerment and responsibility toward addressing the problem at the level where individuals actually CAN make a difference. RAM organizes demonstrations, education booths, street theater, letter writing campaigns, public speaking engagements, slide shows, and speakers panels. Share works primarily in under resourced school districts, enriching curriculum with environmental topics such as animal habitats, energy, the web of life, national parks and others. Our workshops are fun and creative and are intended to increase young children's awareness of their local environment and why it may be important to protect it.
Activities range from games and songs to skits, art projects and hands on demonstrations.
We welcome anyone interested in working with kids to join, especially those with a background in environmental or outdoor education. The Les Voyageurs is an organization of men and women who share a similar love of the out of doors. The group was established in 1907 at U of M by a man who believed that those who felt a special connection to Nature should share this feeling together. Sunday night dinners are held every week during the term at 6 p.m. at the Les Voyageurs' Cabin. Here the members and their guests share their friendship, stories, and love of nature.
