We are growing stronger with existing and new partnerships across western Carolinas. Many seeds have been planted as we raise awareness and work collaboratively with other programs.

FRom our first year
ECO KIDS: PLANTING SEEDS
In our first year, 2022, we partnered with farm camps to reach 80 children. Each child received a Caregivers of Mother Earth reusable tote bag with a set of 4 Nature Connections books. On the last day of camp, they were presented a framed certificate declaring each camper as an Official Caregiver of Mother Earth. We had two major events in September, 2022. First was the unanimous decision by the Hendersonville City Council to become the cornerstone Caregivers of Mother Earth City.
The second event was a Community Celebration on September 24th for the entire city to recognize our inaugural class of 80 Official caregivers of Mother Earth. Mayor Barbara Volk read a Proclamation for the children, we then had the children plant a native Moonglow Magnolia before the mayor dedicated a park bench to Caregivers of Mother Earth.We are making memories that will last a lifetime!
