There are many organizations doing important work in the field of experiential environmental education. Many of these organizations are land-based; farms across the country are being utilized as incredible teaching tools to demonstrate the power of sustainable practices and our obligation to care for those in need. However, land-based organizations have certain geographic restrictions, limiting the number of people they can reach. Amir exists to fill this need.
