As we were leaving the Visitor Center,
to lead group of second graders
around the trails at Ijams,
one young student was heard to ask:
"Are we going into the real woods?"
Sadly, many children live in the virtual world
of TV and video games.
For over 70 years, our mission at Ijams
has been to connect children to nature.
For many urban kids, Ijams is
their first true nature experience.
Yes, most definitely,
has been to connect children to nature.
For many urban kids, Ijams is
their first true nature experience.
Yes, most definitely,
we go into the REAL woods
to see what we can find.
to see what we can find.
